Putin said that Russia “hasn’t seriously started anything yet”

Putin resorted to threats, saying that the Russian Federation has not yet taken any serious actions in the course of the “special operation” in Ukraine. He said this on July 7 at a meeting with the leaders of the State Duma factions. The Institute for the Study of War reports that the Russian military has taken an “operational pause” and is preparing for new massive attacks in Donbas, while Putin is preparing for a protracted war.
