Putin 'has no regrets', and joining the 'huge vibe'

After 233 days of war in Ukraine, which have left tens of thousands dead or injured, Russian President Vladimir Putin has tried to defend his invasion - saying he has "no" regrets.

"What is happening now is not very pleasant, to put it mildly, but we would have got exactly the same a bit later, only at worse odds for us," he told journalists on a visit to Kazakhstan.

He tried to justify the invasion by pointing out that Ukraine had blocked the canal supplying water to Crimea, which Russia annexed from Ukraine in 2014.

"Two-and-a-half million people live in Crimea..." he said. "They [Ukraine] went and cut off the water there. The troops had to go in and turn on the water to Crimea."

He denied wanting to destroy Ukraine as a state and said he saw no need for now to continue mass missile strikes like those carried out on Monday.

Mr Putin had earlier said said the strikes were retaliation for the attack on Russia's massive road and rail bridge to Crimea. On Friday, it was announced that repairs to the bridge would take until next July to complete.

Ukraine has stepped up calls for the Red Cross to visit its troops held prisoner in the annexed region of Donetsk.

Andriy Yermak, the Ukrainian president's chief of staff, demanded the Red Cross visit Olenivka prison within three days. However, the organisation said it could not inspect the facility without permission from the other side.
