Whether they agree. this morning vladimir putin spoke at an economic forum, after cyberattacks caused some delays. but during the speech he said that russia has nothing against ukraine joining the eu and he slammed the west, claiming sanctions have failed to crush russia s economy. cnn s fred pleitgen is in st. petersburg. reporter: aside from those things, it was a forceful speech by vladimir putin. i think that anybody who thought that vladimir putin might be thinking of changing course in ukraine with what the russians call the special military operation, the invasion of ukraine, that certainly does not seem to be the case. in fact, the russian leader said that russia was going to continue that special military operation until all of its military objectives are met. it was interesting because he kept calling it the special military operation in donbas, which certainly seems as though he moved the goalpost a little bit. of course, as we know, the russians invaded the area around ky
