Putin at a meeting with his parliment today-
Speaking on July 7 at a meeting with leaders of the parliament, Putin accused Western allies of fueling the hostilities, charging that "the West wants to fight us until the last Ukrainian.”
He called it a tragedy for the Ukrainian people, but added,
“It looks like it's heading in that direction,” and warned that everyone should understand that Russia "by and large hasn't started anything seriously yet."

Among the dozen suspects arrested in the northern German state of Schleswig-Holstein for a series of burglaries at military bases were two Bundeswehr soldiers who wanted to use the purloined explosives to destroy the bridge between Crimea and the Russian mainland, a German tabloid reported, citing police sources.
“A series of burglaries, long investigations, a crazy plan: How German soldiers wanted to intervene in the Ukraine war,” the Hamburg-based weekly Stern said in a headline.
The story, pieced together from police reports, details the investigation into a theft ring that involved a total of four Bundeswehr soldiers and eight other suspects rounded up by the police in Kiel.
At a press briefing held this morning, The War Zone asked a senior U.S. official whether or not there were any preclusions about the use of High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, or HIMARS, in Ukraine against certain targets. Speaking to reporters on the condition of anonymity, the official responded by saying that they couldn’t reveal any further information about specific targets, but that “Russian forces’ capabilities and logistics nodes within Ukraine are absolutely fair targets” targets. The War Zone followed up, asking if there were any hesitations about using the HIMARs against the Kerch Bridge. The official responded as follows.
“As I said, there aren't any preclusions that I'm aware of on Ukrainians fighting on their sovereign territory against Russia.”
Ex-NATO commander: Ukraine could deal devastating blow to Kremlin by attacking Kerch Strait bridge linking mainland Russia with Crimea.
Former NATO Commander General Philip Breedlove said Ukraine could carry out the attack with newly supplied Harpoon missiles.
A Newsweek report stated that an array of billboards with similar slogans were spotted in the Siberian city which surprised the residents. However, earlier this week, Putin’s key ally and State Duma speaker Vyacheslav Volodin suggested that Russia could "take back" Alaska in retaliation to the US sanctions imposed on Russia over the Moscow-Kyiv war.
The US media outlet stated that even though the signs appeared after Russian officials’ remarks, the billboards do not appear to have been placed by Kremlin.
