(Berlin) – Russian President Vladimir Putin “can be dangerous” and will always push other political leaders as far as he can, former US secretary of state Hillary Clinton told reporters. “A man like Putin always goes to the limits. He always tries to find out how strong the others are” and then re-positions himself accordingly, she said.
“His latest aggression in Ukraine must be answered with a joint reaction by the West,” she said during a ceremony marking Berlin launch of her book “Hard Choices”.
“I believe he can be dangerous,” she added, in response to questions about Moscow’s annexation of Ukraine’s Crimea peninsula and Russia’s tactics in the east of the ex-Soviet state.
