Russia does not want war, Putin says - BBC News

Vladimir Putin has said that "of course" Russia does not want war in Europe, but that his security concerns must be addressed and taken seriously.

The Russian president's comments came as the military said that some troops were withdrawing from the border near Ukraine - the first sign from Moscow of a possible de-escalation of tensions.

However Western leaders say there is no evidence of the withdrawal yet.

Tbh we all need to get together to grow and protect each other. As a human race we need to preserve out existence instead of destroying it knowingly and unknowingly

[___tim___]

Yeah sure, like everything Putin ever said, this aged like a fine wine.
(why does anyone trust Putin at all?)

"We don't want war with Ukraine."

"We want an unconditional surrender."

[dinohunter]

They just attacked, what a sick country

"As a peace-loving man, I have made every effort to give the German nation the defence and the weapons which are appropriate to persuade others also for peace. A hedgehog never attacks another animal except when it is attacked. No one should come near us. We want only our quiet and the right to live."
-Adolf Hitler, 10 months before Germany invaded Poland

140000 troops on someone’s borders is not very peaceful

[Napoleon.]

[Ex-expat]

[gobofraggel]

"It was then, in the depths of 1916 that the Kaiser asked if peace at anytime was possible. And it was at this moment that all the Giants of War industry simply shook their head's no, German industry was profiting too much from the fratricidal murder Europe had found itself in"- Michael Jones

Russia “We don’t want war” Also Russia “Let’s make up a reason to go to war”

[AdmiralBonetoPick]

I'm old enough to remember when Putin said "Russia does not want any more territory", less than a week before annexing Crimea.

[tcheyne]

Russia is right to be very concerned about having NATO weapons right on its doorstep!
That is equivalent to Russia putting missiles in Cuba!
How many think that a great idea?

[Chendurian]

I’m from Malaysia 🇲🇾 we don’t want war too. Wish everyone peace ✌🏼 love 💗 & stay safe

[motoke]

All leaders who don’t want war always station some 150k troops near its neighbors borders on multiple fronts.

I say Russia and US needs to sit down and realize we once fought along each other why fought against each other
