Russian President Putin Says Russia-Ukraine War Is 'Coming to an End'

Russian President Vladimir Putin told reporters that he thinks the Russia-Ukraine war “is coming to an end.” 

The war started in February 2022. On Friday, President Donald Trump announced a three-day cease-fire. 

Roughly 1.8 million people have died in the war.

VERY promising! 👀

Putin just told reporters “I think that the matter is coming to an end”, in reference to the war in Ukraine.

This comes on the first day of the three day ceasefire, and the 81st anniversary of Russia’s Victory Day.
