“The only thing that can really stop Putin in Ukraine and in Europe, is resistance. Resistance that is being produced by the Ukrainian military, while all Ukrainian people that heroically resisting these aggressions.”
He went on to say that the 69-year-old is just as ‘concentrated’ and as ‘calculated’ as ever.
However, this has been put into question by many within the international community, including the former US Secretary of State, Condoleeza Rice.
She told Fox News: “This is a different Putin. He was always calculating and cold but this is different. He seems erratic.”
Ex-US Secretary Robert Gates also told CNN that Putin has ‘gone off the rails’.

Last month, on February 24, the President sent a chilling warning to the west in a TV broadcast.
In his statement, he said that nobody should ‘interfere’ with his plans with Ukraine, and if they did, they would face ‘consequences’.

It’s believed that at around the same time, explosions in the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, could be heard.
Before the President sent out his warning, the United Nations reportedly held an emergency meeting.
