Bormes-les-Mimosas (France) Aug 19 (AFP) Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday vowed to prevent any situation occurring in Moscow similar to the "yellow vest" movement that rocked Paris and other French cities from late last year.

"We will do everything to make sure the situation remains within the realms of the law," he added. (AFP)
