Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued a stern warning saying that Ukraine will not push the situation to a more dire state by imposing a blockade against Moscow. Russia has no negative intentions towards neighboring countries.
President Putin took part in a meeting of the Russian government and gave this warning to the Western embargo countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom. Russia's state media, Russia24 channel, broadcast his speech.
President Putin said that Moscow does not consider it necessary to take any further measures towards neighboring countries. They do not want to take any measures to worsen the relations with their neighbors.
He also said, 'I think everyone should think about how to normalize the relationship, cooperate naturally and improve the relationship naturally. '
President Putin's statement came at a time when foreign ministers of Western countries are meeting in Brussels, the capital of Belgium, to exert more pressure on Russia.
In his speech, Putin reiterated that the measures taken by the Russian military so far are due to the country's unfriendly behavior towards Russia. Those who reject the spirit of cooperation will suffer themselves, Putin said. He warned the countries not to impose a new blockade and said, "We would rather benefit from the blockade."
