Russia-Ukraine Crisis Escalates as Putin Threatens Kyiv with Devastating Strike. In a dramatic turn of events, Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced a temporary ceasefire plan, but warned that his government will unleash a massive attack on the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, if the truce is breached. The fragile peace talks between Moscow and Kyiv have been on shaky ground for weeks, with both sides accusing each other of violating the terms of a previous agreement. As the international community watches with bated breath, the fate of Ukraine hangs in the balance, and the prospects of a negotiated solution seem increasingly uncertain.
President Vladimir Putin declared the ceasefire plans Monday and said the Kremlin would launch a massive strike on the Ukrainian capital Kyiv if the temporary truce was broken.
