Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday called on the Ukrainian military to seize power in their country and overthrow President Volodymyr Zelensky, while the Kremlin said Putin is willing to send a delegation to Belarus to meet with Kyiv officials.

However, in a televised speech, Putin told the Ukrainian military that it would be “easier for us to make a deal with you” than with “this gang of drug addicts and neo-Nazis,” apparently referring to Ukraine’s government.
