Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that U.S. deliveries of long-range ATACMS missiles to Ukraine were a "mistake" that would create additional threats to Russian forces but would not significantly change the situation on the front.
"Firstly, this of course causes harm and creates an additional threat. Secondly, we will of course be able to repel these attacks. War is war," Putin told a press conference during a visit to China.
"But most importantly, it fundamentally lacks the capacity to change the situation on the line of contact at all. That is impossible, this we can say for sure. This is another mistake by the United States, for several reasons at once."
Speaking after talks with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, Putin told a briefing that in order for such talks to happen, Ukraine needed to scrap a decree banning any negotiations with Moscow.
