Moscow:
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday warned Israeli forces’ expected ground offensive would bring unacceptable levels of civilian casualties, and that his country was ready to help with mediation efforts.
“The use of heavy machinery in residential areas is a complex matter fraught with grave consequences,” Putin said, “most importantly, the civilian casualties will be absolutely unacceptable.”
