Russia has no plans to take Kharkov, Russian President Vladimir Putin has stated

"As for what is happening in the Kharkov region, this is also [the Ukrainians'] fault, because they shelled and continue, unfortunately, to shell residential neighborhoods in border areas, including [Russia's city of] Belgorod," Putin said at a press conference in Harbin, China. "That's where civilians are dying. Everything is obvious here. They shoot directly at the city center, at residential neighborhoods."

If such actions continue, Russia will be forced to create a security zone, a sanitary zone, the Russian president stressed.
