Putin: Ukraine ‘Matter of Life and Death’ for Russia 

Sudan Events – Sumaya Sayed 

Events on the battlefield in Ukraine are a matter of “life and death” for Russia that could determine its fate, President Vladimir Putin has said.

“I think it is still important for us ourselves and even more so for our listeners and viewers abroad, to understand our way of thinking,” Putin said.

“Everything that is happening on the Ukraine front: For them, it is an improvement of their tactical position, but for us, it is our fate; it is a matter of life and death,” he said.

Putin was responding to a question about a two-hour long interview he gave to US talk show host Tucker Carlson, which the Kremlin used to promote its narratives on the war.
