Investing.com -- Russian President Vladimir Putin publicly expressed doubts about the value of peace negotiations with Ukraine on Wednesday. This followed accusations that senior Ukrainian leadership ordered deadly attacks on bridges in Russia, resulting in seven deaths and 115 injuries.
Russian investigators reported that a highway bridge over a railway was destroyed on Saturday, just as a passenger train carrying 388 passengers was passing underneath. These attacks occurred prior to scheduled peace talks in Turkey on Monday.
Putin pointed out that the attacks on the bridges in Bryansk and Kursk were clearly targeted at civilians. He stated these incidents prove that the Kyiv government "was degenerating into a terrorist organisation, and its sponsors are becoming accomplices of terrorists."
During a televised meeting with high-ranking officials, Putin said, "The current Kyiv regime does not need peace at all. What is there to talk about? How can we negotiate with those who rely on terror?"
He further implied that any ceasefire could merely serve as an opportunity for Ukraine to receive more Western weapons. So far, Ukraine has not issued any comments regarding the bridge explosions.
