Astana: <\/b><\/p>\n

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday there was no need for massive new strikes on Ukraine and that Russia was not looking to destroy the country.<\/p>\n

Vladinmir Putin told a news conference at the end of a summit in Kazakhstan that his call-up of Russian reservists would be over within two weeks and there were no plans for a further mobilisation.<\/p>\n

He also repeated the Kremlin position that Russia was willing to hold talks, although he said they would require international mediation if Ukraine was willing to take part.<\/p>\n

Taken together, President Putin’s comments appeared to suggest a slight softening of his tone as the war nears the end of its eighth month, after weeks of Ukrainian advances and significant Russian defeats.<\/p>\n

But he was speaking after a week when Russia has staged its heaviest missile attacks on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities since the start of its invasion of Feb. 24 – an action that Mr Putin has said was retaliation for an attack that damaged a Russian bridge to occupied Crimea.<\/p>\n

“We do not set ourselves the task of destroying Ukraine. No, of course not,” Mr Putin said.<\/p>\n

He said there was “no need for massive strikes” now because most designated targets had been hit.<\/p>\n
