Ukraine is under Putin's danger. Putin threatens Ukraine, which is why. Read on to learn why:Putin warns Ukraine that if it rejects his demands, worse things will come to pass
Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, warned Kiev on Thursday that it should accept Moscow's terms right away or prepare for the worst. He added menacingly that Russia has only just begun its military action in Ukraine, which has now been ongoing for five months.
Putin said that Western allies were igniting hostilities during a meeting with the heads of the Kremlin-controlled parliament, saying that "the West wants to fight us till the last Ukrainian."
It's a tragedy for the Ukrainian people, he continued, but it appears to be going in that way.

In a frightening tone, Putin remarked, "Everybody should know that generally speaking, we haven't even started anything in earnest."
Russia is still willing to have negotiations to put a stop to the fighting, he said, adding that "those who refuse to do so should know that the longer it lasts the more difficult it will be for them to reach a deal with us."
They reportedly intend to beat us on the battlefield, according to Putin. Allow them to try.
Earlier in the conflict, the Kremlin insisted Kyiv recognize its control over the Crimean Peninsula, which it annexed in 2014, as well as the independence of the rebel territories in eastern Ukraine that it supports.
A reference to additional territory gains Ukraine has gained since Russian forces entered the country on February 24 was made in Moscow's statement that it expected Ukraine to submit to the situation there.
Early in the war, the Russian military's attention was diverted from Kyiv and other major towns in northeastern Ukraine to the eastern industrial heartland of Donbas, where Moscow-backed rebels have been engaged in combat with Ukrainian forces since 2014.
The Russian military asserted control over one of the two provinces that make up Donbas earlier this week, and it is now ready to intensify its drive towards Donetsk.
Early on in the conflict, Russia took control of a portion of adjacent Zaporizhzhia and the southern Kherson area.
The final attempt by Moscow to cut off Ukraine from its Black Sea coast all the way to the Romanian border is anticipated. If successful, it would be a devastating blow to the Ukrainian economy and open a route to Transnistria, the breakaway territory of Moldova where Russia keeps a military outpost.
Putin restated his long-standing accusation that the West is attempting to isolate and weaken Russia by leveraging the war in Ukraine.
They simply don't require a nation like Russia, according to Putin. "For this reason, they have turned to terrorism, secession, and internal forces that are harmful to our nation."
He claimed that Western sanctions aimed at "sowing division and discord in our society and demoralizing our people" had fallen short of their objectives.
The West's concerted efforts to impose its vision of the world order are destined to fail, according to Putin, who asserted that history cannot be stopped.
The Ukrainian president's advisor, Mykhailo Podolyak, answered on Twitter, saying that there was no "collective West" plot and that just the Russian army had entered Ukraine.
