Russia's Vladimir Putin has acknowledged that his war on Ukraine could turn into a "long-term process." He was defending the war to his personal human rights council - after the Ukrainian military allegedly carried out a series of drone attacks against targets deep inside Russia.

Putin went on to say that he would not mobilize additional troops for now, despite setbacks on the battlefield.
