Vladimir Putin Says Russia Has 'No Ill Intentions,' Pleads for No More Sanctions

[Zorro]

Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that Russia has no "ill intentions" towards Ukraine, hours after Russian forces had seized Europe's biggest nuclear power plant.

Putin made the comment on the state-controlled Rossiya 24 news channel on Friday in which he called on neighboring countries "to think about how to normalize relations" more than a week after he ordered an invasion that has caused thousands of casualties and sparked a growing refugee crisis.

"I want to emphasize once again. We have no ill intentions towards our neighbors, and I would advise them not to escalate the situation, nor to introduce any restrictions," he said, according to news agencies.

"All our actions, if they arise, always arise exclusively in response to unfriendly actions against Russia," he added.

Putin also said: "We do not see any need here to escalate the situation or worsen our relations."

soldiers defending their country and claims he has no ill intentions? What a complete and utter loaf of horse shit.

22. He plays a pretty good crazy man role.

[ColinC]

23. Not only should they get more sanctions, NATO needs to enter Ukraine

The Western side, out of conflict from any Russian forces, and set up a border to stop Russian encroachment. If Putin would kill himself and every russian over Ukraine, he would do it over the rest of Europe too. He is likely counting on NATO not interfering, in which case every major power that has the power to stop this, is sacrificing millions of Ukrainian lives out of unrefined fear and cowardice.
