Putin turns Kupyansk selfie into humiliation for Zelensky, 700 journalists watch him roast Ukraine

At his annual “Results of the Year” spectacle in Moscow, Vladimir Putin told Russians that their forces are “advancing along the entire line of contact” and that “the enemy is retreating in all directions,” as the invasion of Ukraine nears its fourth year. Framing the conflict as Europe’s worst war since 1945, he promised “new successes” before year’s end.
