MOSCOW (AP) — President Vladimir Putin boasted that his military operation in Ukraine has strengthened Russia and denied that the ouster of key ally Bashar Assad in Syria had hurt Moscow’s prestige, as he held his annual news conference and call-in show Thursday.

Russia has launched dozens of missiles and drones against Ukraine as at least one person was killed in the capital of Kyiv in the attack. Ukraine’s air force said Russia had fired 60 drones on Thursday night, though 20 were downed well before they reached their target, and five ballistic missiles at towns and cities across the country.

Vladimir Putin declared on Thursday that Russia was closer to reaching its goals in Ukraine and that the front line was advancing every day.

The Russian president appeared in no hurry to seek an end to the war despite President-elect Donald Trump’s vow to secure a speedy resolution.

Russia has launched several missiles at the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv and stuck targets elsewhere in the country.

In one corner will be President Donald Trump, hungry for a Ukraine peace deal that would make him look like a global peacemaker. In the other, Russian President Vladimir Putin, an astute, manipulative and vehemently anti-American autocrat who hopes to entice Trump into creating a transactional new world order without rules or human rights.
