Russia's Putin paints a grim scenario if Ukraine joins NATO, saying emboldened Kiev could try to reclaim Crimea and areas under rebel control, forcing Moscow into the war
Tuesday's comments were his first on the standoff in more than a month which also suggested a potential Russian invasion of Ukraine may not be imminent and that at least one more round of diplomacy with the US is likely.
Russia is expected to respond soon to a US proposal for negotiations on lesser Russian demands after which Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken will speak. Speaking after talks with Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orban, who has forged closer ties with Moscow than almost any other NATO member, Putin noted that it's still possible to negotiate a settlement that would take every party's concerns into account.
Putin said the Kremlin is still studying the US and NATO's response to the Russian security demands received last week.
