President Vladimir Putin of Russia has warned neighbouring countries against escalating the situation, amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Oyogist.com reports.

According to him, there was no need to introduce sanctions as Russia is not a threat to its neighbours.

A Russian news agency, Interfax reported on Friday that the Kremlin Chief said “I would advise you not to fuel the situation, not to introduce restrictions.

“We are fulfilling all our duties and will continue to fulfil them. We have no bad intentions towards our neighbours.’’

He saw no need to worsen relations, Putin said while taking part via video link in the commissioning of a new ferry between Ust-Luga near St Petersburg to the Baltic Sea region of Kaliningrad.

The 200-metre-long ship will be used to bring food and construction material to the Baltic exclave, among other things.

However, because of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, many Western countries have banned Russian planes from their airspace.
