   Putin Warns of Global Danger and Rules Out Ukraine Ceasefire

   Vladimir Putin has declared that the world is in a dangerous moment and stated that international conflicts are likely to continue as the global order changes. The Russian leader ruled out a ceasefire with Ukraine during a speech in Moscow and warned Western nations against escalating the conflict. While Putin estimates that Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries have cost Russia 1% of GDP, he rejected proposals for a mutual halt to these attacks, calling such suggestions absurd.
