President Vladimir Putin has issued a dire warning to the West — sending foreign weapons to Ukraine will result in “global collapse” and nobody will be getting out alive.
Earlier today President Vladimir Putin demanded Ukraine distance itself from NATO, lay down its arms and recognize Russia’s claims to the Crimea, and to acknowledge that Donetsk and Lugansk are independent states before war can end.
Sergey Lavrov, Russia’s Foreign Minister, said western powers sending mercenaries and military equipment to the front lines would be a “catastrophic development“.
The Kremlin also released a list of countries who have been “unfriendly” to Russia since the conflict began. The list includes all European Union countries and the United Kingdom, with the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia and New Zealand also making the list, among others.
