Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Western and other countries should normalize relations with his country following punishing sanctions over the invasion of Ukraine.
“We have no bad intentions, there is no need to escalate the situation, impose restrictions, we fulfill all obligations,” Putin said during an event on Friday, according to state media. “If someone does not want to cooperate with us within the framework of single cooperation, and by doing so harms themselves, they will, of course, harm us too,” Putin said.
