Putin: World must form ‘powerful fist’ against terror

Vladimir Putin says world must set aside prior disputes and unite under a broad international front against terrorism.

“We must leave all arguments and disagreements behind and make one powerful fist, a single anti-terror front, which would work on the basis of international law under the aegis of the United Nations,” he says in his televised state of the nation speech.

“That means no shelter to bandits, no double standards, no contacts whatsoever with any terrorist organizations, no attempts to use them for some other goals, no criminal, bloody business with terrorists.”

He doesn’t address a peace process in Syria.
