Russian ​President Vladimir ⁢Putin has indicated ‌that the​ war in Ukraine will not end soon, even as attacks continue across the country.This statement comes ‍following a reported‌ Russian drone ​attack on the North ​Sumy region of Ukraine,⁤ resulting in at least 30 ⁣deaths, according to Ukrainian President⁢ Volodymyr Zelenskyy.The attack targeted a railway station in the area.

The railway⁣ station in Hrson‍ Hinghoro was reportedly damaged in ⁢the attack, as reported by the ⁢Routy’s news agency, citing ‌information from local governor Hyrhooro. ⁣Ukrainian President Zelenskyy ⁢shared footage ⁢on X (formerly Twitter) depicting the aftermath,‌ showing a burned train⁤ coach with curved metal and broken windows.

The attack on the railway station, which served trains from Shestoka, represents a ⁢continuation of Russia’s targeting of Ukrainian infrastructure. This strategy​ aims ⁢to‍ disrupt supply lines ⁤and⁣ civilian movement, further exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.

Putin’s Recent Statements and International Alignment

According to India⁤ Today, Putin has‍ criticized European policies and expressed gratitude to‌ BRICS nations and other allies for their​ support regarding the Ukraine‍ conflict. This⁣ suggests a shift in Russia’s international alignment as it seeks support‌ from countries outside of the traditional Western sphere​ of⁤ influence.

Putin’s remarks indicate a resolve to continue the military⁢ operation despite​ international pressure and sanctions. He appears to be framing the ‌conflict ‍as a response to perceived aggression from the West and a defense of Russian interests.

Impact ​on Civilian Infrastructure and Humanitarian Situation

The targeting ⁣of ‍railway stations, vital for civilian evacuation and ⁢supply transport, highlights the devastating impact of the war⁤ on Ukraine’s infrastructure. The North Sumy region, bordering Russia,⁤ has been subject to frequent shelling ⁤and ⁢attacks since the‍ beginning of the invasion in February 2022.
