Trump promised to end the fighting within '24 hours' of taking office AFP With its cobbled market square and gold-domed churches, the Russian town of Vereya bears few scars of the Ukraine offensive announced by President Vladimir Putin three years ago. But even here, 600 kilometres (370 miles) from the front line and almost two hours drive from central Moscow, residents said an end to the fighting was long overdue. In Vereya's cemetery, framed photographs of fallen soldiers lay nestled between flowers, while the flags of Russian military divisions fluttered in the wind.
