According to the US News Agency, Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a televised address that Russia would take military action in Ukraine because of the threats posed by Ukraine.
Russia does not want to occupy Ukraine

"If you try to intervene, the consequences will be so serious."
President Putin warned that any attempt to intervene in Russia's military action would have far-reaching consequences that no one had ever seen before.
