It happened for the first time...

Namely, he used the word "war" instead of the term "special military intervention" for the first time.

Critics of Vladimir Putin say the use of the word "war" to describe the conflict in Ukraine has been effectively illegal in Russia since March, when the Russian leader signed a censorship law that makes spreading "false" information about the invasion a punishable crime up to 15 years in prison for anyone who is convicted.

"Our goal is not to turn the wheel of military conflict, but, on the contrary, to end this war," Putin told reporters in Moscow after attending a meeting of the State Council for Youth Policy.

"That is what we strived for and we will continue to strive," he emphasized.

U.S. official told CNN that their initial assessment was that Putin did not say it on purpose and that it was likely a slip. However, officials will be closely monitoring what will be said inside the Kremlin on the matter in the coming days.
