Russian President Vladimir Putin has said there is no need for more massive strikes on Ukraine, days after the heaviest bombardment of the country since the war began.
He said most designated targets of the strikes had been hit, adding that it was not his aim to destroy Ukraine.
Moscow's goal of mobilising 300,000 men would be met within two weeks, he said.
Mr Putin's words come as Russian forces seem stalled and Ukraine advances, almost eight months since the invasion.
Speaking to journalists after a summit with regional leaders in Kazakhstan's capital Astana, the Russian leader said that the recent strikes had destroyed 22 out of the 29 targets in Ukraine set by the military and that "they are getting" the remaining seven.
"There's no need for massive strikes. We now have other tasks," he said.
He said it was not Russia's intention to destroy Ukraine, but he did not regret the invasion.
"What is happening today is not pleasant, to put things mildly," he said. "But all the same, [if Russia hadn't attacked] we would have been in the same situation, only the conditions would have been worse for us. So we're doing everything correctly and at the right time."

His Arkhangelsk underground nuke test order has now been disobeyed by the military 3 times in the past 2 weeks.
Sides are being taken on removing Putin and installing Dmitry Patrushev (son of Nikolai Patrushev) in his place.
Putin even talked of making a "goodwill gesture" in Kherson in his press conference today.
All according to plan.
Putin is running out of missiles. If he wants to waste more targeting civilian areas like Hitler, he just hastens the end of the war, and likely his regime.
Out of missiles for the month!
Russia elite tired of the war and Putin’s psycho nuke threats. The not-so-quiet coup has started.
Dmitry Patrushev reading Kaputin the list of charges if he doesn’t resign for health reasons.
Prigozhin and Kadyrov are aligned with Patrushev and son. They would need to take out Medvedev and his supporters first before taking out Putin.
Larry, are you ready to crawl out of your intellectual safe room and discuss how Russia is doing like an adult? No blocking people who disagree with you here. You have to man up and discuss things like you actually have substance behind your thoughts. Are you ready?
May it be so!
By the way. This happened tonight in Belgorod Russia. It’s video of one of their power plants being struck by a missile. Putin may be out of missiles. Someone else still appears to have them. Winning. 🙄

putin should declare Ukraine de-Nazified, call it a victory and have a big parade in Moscow.
(he lies all the time so one more would be no biggie for him)
May it be so!
Hand-to-mouth from production line to firing line. Russians have no logistical depth.

🇳🇵Post #2 Marked safe from critical thinking today
Apparently, it’s rained enough in Kyiv and Ukrainians are out of umbrellas?
Is Patrushev going to poison Putin or throw him out of a window or both?
Get better air defense, ZelenskyyIdiot, maybe within the next 2-3 years, kthx?
sure looks like he’s making excuses for being out of missiles
remember when we were growing up, and you see some show-off try something tough ...
and when they botch it they say, “oh, I meant to do that”
nobody believed them then, and nobody believes Putin now
so, more desperation from a losing side
Patrushev made Kadyrov an offer he can’t refuse. Chechens are not loyal.
