Ukraine-News: Putin convenes Security Council after fighting in Russia

Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin convened a special session of the National Security Council after reports from his secret service about fighting with Ukrainian units on Russian territory. A planned trip to the Caucasus was canceled at short notice. It was not initially known what the meeting of the important committee would be about. Ukraine accuses Russia of targeted disinformation.

The spokesman for the Russian President, Dmitri Peskov, responded to journalists’ question as to whether the Security Council would continue to upgrade the war, which Moscow referred to only as a “special military operation”: “I don’t know, I can’t say that yet.” There has long been speculation that Russia could officially declare war on Ukraine or order another wave of army mobilization.
