In the aftermath of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin has urged neighboring countries against aggravating the situation.
“I would advise you not to fuel the situation, not to introduce restrictions, we are fulfilling all our duties and will continue to fulfill them,’’ the Kremlin chief was quoted as saying by Russian news agency Interfax on Friday.
`We have no bad intentions towards our neighbors,’’ he added.
Putin made the remarks while participating in the commissioning of a new ferry between Ust-Luga near St Petersburg and the Baltic Sea region of Kaliningrad via video link.
The 200-meter-long ship will, among other things, transport food and construction materials to the Baltic exclave.
However, many Western countries have banned Russian planes from their airspace as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
