MOSCOW: President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that Russian forces were moving towards achieving their primary goals on the battlefield in Ukraine and touted what he said was the invincibility of Russia's new hypersonic missile.

"I must say that the situation is changing dramatically. There is movement along the entire front line. Every day," he said.
