MOSCOW — President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday that any further mobilization would depend on what Russia wanted to achieve in the war in Ukraine, adding that he faced a question only he could answer – should Russia try to take Kyiv again? More than 15 months since Putin sent troops into Ukraine, Russian and Ukrainian forces are still battling with artillery, tanks and drones along a 1,000-km (600-mile) front line, though well away from the capital Kyiv. Using the word 'war' several times, Putin offered a barrage of warnings to the West, suggesting Russia may have to impose a 'sanitary zone' in Ukraine to prevent it attacking Russia and saying Moscow was considering ditching the Black Sea grain deal.
