Moscow, March 6: As Russian President Vladimir Putin’s soldiers continued their attack on Ukraine for the 11th day on Sunday, the International Monetary Fund warned that the crisis will have a serious impact on the global economy.
“These sanctions that are being applied are similar to a declaration of war, but thank God it has not come to that,” Putin said, adding that he wanted a neutral Ukraine that had been “demilitarised” and “denazified.”
Moscow and Kyiv shared blame for a botched agreement for a limited ceasefire to allow residents to flee two Russian-held cities. As a result of Russia’s invasion, almost 1.5 million people have fled to the European Union.
Earlier, on Saturday Ukraine`s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy made a plea for eastern Europe to provide Russian-made aircraft to Ukraine during a video call with U.S. senators, said the chamber`s majority leader, Chuck Schumer.
