RUSSIAN President Vladimir Putin has given a strong message to European countries as tensions related to the Ukraine war grow. He talked about recent attacks in the Black Sea and said Russia is not looking for a war with Europe, but is ready to respond if European nations take military action.
Putin called the recent Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil tankers in the Black Sea "acts of piracy," blaming Kyiv for putting regional security at risk.
He also said Moscow might expand its military actions to hit Ukrainian ports and any ships going in or out of them. Even though Putin said Russia doesn’t want to start a war with Europe, he warned that things could get really bad if Europe decides to confront Russia directly.
He hinted that if that happens, there might soon be "no one left to negotiate with," suggesting the serious consequences of a broader conflict.
Putin also criticized European governments for stopping peace talks and blocking diplomatic efforts to reach a lasting solution in Ukraine. He claimed that European actions keep making it harder to find a real deal.
