Putin warns West: Moscow has ‘red line’ about Ukraine, NATO

Associated Press  

MOSCOW — Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday sternly warned NATO against deploying its troops and weapons to Ukraine, saying it represents a red line for Russia and would trigger a strong response. Putin on Tuesday hailed the cybersecurity discussions between Russian and U.S. experts, saying “just as with the pandemic, it’s necessary to pool efforts to work efficiently.” Asked about reports on plans for a Biden-Putin call next month, White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters Tuesday aboard Air Force One that she doesn’t have “anything to predict or preview at this point,” adding that “obviously, we remain in touch as a follow up to the summit this summer, at a high level with Russian counterparts.” Responding to a question about the threat of a Russian invasion in Ukraine, Psaki said “we’re deeply concerned about the heightened rhetoric, about the reported military buildup on the border.” In Russia, when asked about Biden possibly seeking a second term, Putin said he thought that would help political stability in the U.S. “In line with the constitution, I have the right to get elected to seek a new term, but I haven’t yet made up my mind whether to do it or not,” Putin said. “But the very existence of that right already stabilizes the domestic political situation.” Asked about China’s nuclear buildup, Putin said that Russia isn’t worried about it, adding that close ties between Moscow and Beijing are a “major factor of global stability.” ___ Associated Press writer Alexandra Jaffe contributed to this report from aboard Air Force One.
