		</div><p>Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday that Moscow’s offensive in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region aims to create a buffer zone but he has no plans to capture the city.</p>
<p>Speaking to reporters on Friday on a visit to Harbin, China, Mr Putin said that Moscow launched attacks in the Kharkiv region in response to the Ukrainian shelling of Russia’s Belgorod region.</p>
<p>“I have said publicly that if it continues we will be forced to create a security zone, a sanitary zone,” he said.</p>

<p>Mr Putin said Russian troops were “advancing daily in according to plan”.</p>
<p>He added that Russia has no plans to capture Kharkiv for now.</p>
<p>Mr Putin’s comments on his trip to China were his first on the offensive launched on May 10, which opened a new front in the war and displaced thousands of Ukrainians within few days.</p>
<p>It came hours after a massive Ukrainian drone attack on Russian-occupied Crimea early on Friday caused power cutoffs in the city of Sevastopol while damaging aircraft and fuel storage at an airbase.</p>
<p>In southern Russia, Russian authorities said the attack also set a refinery ablaze.</p>
