Armed Conflicts: Putin Says Russia Wants End To War

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday (December 22) the Patriot air defense that the United States is supplying to Ukraine was an old weapons system that Russia would be able to counter.

Putin told reporters that the Patriot was “quite old” and did not work like Russia’s S-300 system.

Putin said Russia wants an end to the war in Ukraine, and all armed conflicts end with diplomatic negotiations.
