If Vladimir Putin has proven anything it's that he knows how to talk out both sides of his ass. To believe that he'll recognize the outcome of the presidential vote on Sunday is just foolish. Putin believes that he can, with impunity accomplish his dream: Russia's return to superpower status while pissing off the rest of the world's governments.
Russia's President Putin has said he will respect the outcome of Ukraine's presidential election on Sunday.
Speaking at an economic conference in St Petersburg on Friday, Vladimir Putin also said he believed Ukraine had descended into "full-scale civil war".
Meanwhile, pro-Russia separatists have clashed with self-defence fighters in the eastern city of Donetsk.
Violence in the east, particularly Donetsk and Luhansk, has seriously disrupted preparations for the polls.
Separatist insurgents in the two regions declared independence after disputed referendums earlier this month and have pledged to derail the vote.
