President Vladimir Putin said that Russia's goal is not to destroy Ukraine.

Therefore, he stated that Russia has not devised any new plans to intensify its attack on Ukraine.

"The recall of reserve troops sent to Ukraine will be completed within two weeks. There is no new intention to bring in more troops. Putin explained that Russia has accomplished most of its goals in Ukraine.

The Russian president reiterated his readiness for mediation. He also stated that if Ukraine is ready, it can be negotiated through international mediation.

Putin is softening his stance on Ukraine just eight months after the Russian invasion. This is when the Ukrainian army made progress in many areas and strengthened its defence.

While Ukraine and the West are raising doubts that Russia will launch a nuclear attack, Putin has made it clear that there are no new attack plans.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called for more help from NATO after Russia intensified its missile attack on Kyiv.

The United States and Saudi Arabia have pledged more military aid to Ukraine. Meanwhile, Ukraine claimed to have destroyed the Russian military's arsenal from different parts of the country.

Last day, Russia evacuated people from the populated areas of Kherson. The evacuation was at the behest of the pro-Russian regional government in Kherson, which Ukraine assessed as a move to shift the battlefront to Kherson.

Meanwhile, Ukraine accuses civilians of falling victim to tripwire landmines it planted as a remnant of the Russian retreat.

Ukraine's military says it is checking for mines in areas where Russian forces have retreated.

"One year of war equals 10 years of demining," said Dokuchev, a former photographer who joined the Territorial Defense Forces after the war broke out. "Even now we are still finding munitions from World War II, and in this war, they're being planted left and right."

While many settlements in the region have finally achieved some measure of safety after fierce battles reduced many of them to rubble, Russian land mines remain an ever-present threat in both urban and rural environments.

The local man whose body lay near the abandoned Russian camp was likely searching for food left behind by the invading soldiers, Dokuchaev said, an additional danger posed by the hunger experienced by many in Ukraine's devastated regions.
