Late yesterday afternoon our time, Russian President Vladimir Putin gave a live televised address, saying Russia had no intention of occupying Ukraine. Then minutes after that TV appearance authorised a military operation in the country’s Donbas region. So what does this mean for the world? What does this mean for Ukraine? And is there anything that can stop Vladimir Putin from starting a potential world war?
