Russia has refused to “freeze” its ongoing war in Ukraine if its “root causes” are not addressed, Moscow said on Monday. Galuzin also claimed that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has “completely lost touch with reality” and is attempting “to escalate the conflict.” Russia: Ukrainian Attacks are ‘Terrorism’Galuzin referred to the attacks as “terrorist” in nature and noted that the US and several European countries are home to energy firms that hold shares in the CPC. The Russian president, however, has rejected any prospect of immediate talks, telling the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum that the meeting would be “pointless.” Russia also routinely attacks Ukrainian civilian areas, launching drone strikes in heavily populated cities such as the capital Kyiv.
