Putin justified massive missile strikes on Ukrainian cities

During a meeting with foreign journalists, Putin was asked about Russia's numerous strikes on civilian infrastructure in Ukraine, in particular - on residential buildings, which led to the deaths of civilians, Ukrainska Pravda reported.

Putin said that if your journalists had seen how entire residential neighborhoods were destroyed by our missiles - they could hardly tell you anything about it.

He claims that the Russian army is hitting defense-industrial complex facilities, not residential areas.

According to Putin, Russia is demilitarizing Ukraine, so with missile strikes he is depriving Ukraine of the possibility of having armed forces that threaten Russia.
