Moscow: Vladimir Putin continued his pressure tactics on Sunday, saying that only Ukrainian authorities will be responsible if the nation’s statehood comes under threat.

The Russian President, on whose order Russian troops launched an intense military operation against Ukraine on February 24, Putin said the leadership of the eastern European nation must understand the consequences of their acts.

“The current (Ukrainian) authorities must understand that if they continue to do what they are doing, they are putting in question the future of Ukrainian statehood… And if this happens, they will be fully responsible,” Putin said.

Russia has had to pay a price for its decision to invade Ukraine, as more and more sanctions are being imposed against the country by the West.

In the latest move to teach Moscow a lesson, American card payment giants Visa and Mastercard decided to suspend operations in Russia.
