Putin's Contemplations on Ukraine's Catastrophic Losses and Potential Actions.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said there is no need for additional mobilization of men to fight in Ukraine for now, but any further mobilization would depend on what Russia wanted to achieve there. Putin also said Russia needed to fight enemy agents and improve its defenses against attacks deep inside its own territory but said there was no need to follow Ukraine’s example and declare martial law. Meanwhile, Russia was considering exiting the landmark Black Sea grain deal that has allowed grain from Ukraine to reach the global market, Putin said, adding that Moscow had been “cheated” over the implementation of the parts of the accord that concerned its own exports.
