‘Concerned over NATO expansion’
Russian President Vladimir Putin, speaking publicly for the first time since his high-profile talks with U.S. leader Joe Biden, said on Wednesday Moscow reserves the right to “defend its security” but refused to say if he planned to invade Ukraine.
During their summit by secure video link on Tuesday, Mr. Biden warned Mr. Putin of a “strong” Western economic response should Moscow attack its neighbour.
“Russia has a peaceful foreign policy, but has the right to defend its security,” Mr. Putin said at a news conference with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Wednesday.
