Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Saturday that he thought the Ukraine conflict was coming to an end. Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine triggered the most serious crisis in relations between Russia and the West since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, when many people feared the world was on the brink of nuclear war. "I think that the matter is coming to an end," Putin told reporters of the Ukraine war. Putin was speaking in the Kremlin after Russia held its most scaled-back Victory Day
