Russian President Vladimir Putin made a statement in the Federal Assembly. Putin, who made important statements on many different issues, especially the war in Ukraine and the problems with Western countries, lashed out at NATO member countries over French President Macron’s statements on Ukraine. Putin said about the countries helping Ukraine: “The consequences that the countries that intervene will face will be very tragic. We have weapons that can hit targets on their territory.”
A very harsh response from Putin to the West! Public nuclear threat to NATO members: “Destruction of civilization…”
“NUCLEAR FORCES ARE READY”
Russian President Vladimir Putin made statements in the Federal Assembly today on the war in Ukraine, the problems with Western countries and many other issues. Emphasizing that the results of the steps taken by the Russian army to produce modern weapons are being achieved today, Putin said, “All of the work in the field of armament that I mentioned in my speech in 2018 has been completed or is about to be completed. With this operation (conflicts in Ukraine), the combat capability of the Russian Armed Forces has increased many times. In all directions, troops are advancing safely and liberating the lands. Kinjal and Zircon hypersonic missile systems are currently actively used in combat. Avangard intercontinental ballistic missile units and all our other new and technological weapons are on combat duty. “Along with these weapons whose reliability has been confirmed, strategic nuclear forces are also ready,” he said.
“THE RESULTS WILL BE MUCH MORE TRAGIC”
Stating that they have made great progress in terms of armament and that they have weapons that can hit Western countries, Putin said: “Foreign countries choose the ‘targets’ that need to be hit and they have started talking about sending soldiers to Ukraine. The consequences that countries that intervene will face will be tragic. We have weapons that can hit targets on their territory. The West says Russia will attack Europe. Russia will not attack Europe. This is nonsense. “They are lying a lot,” he said.
Finding the words of Western countries that Russia will attack them provocative, Putin said: “Every claim they invent and scare the whole world, such as that Russia will attack Europe, really threatens a conflict in which nuclear weapons will be used. “But this would mean the destruction of civilization,” he said.
Responding to French President Emanuel Macron’s words supporting the idea of sending troops to Ukraine, Putin said, “We remember the fate of those who sent troops to our land. “From now on, the consequences for the interveners will be much more tragic,” he said.
“THE CLAIM THAT WE WILL PLACE NUCLEAR WEAPONS IN SPACE IS FOUNDATIONAL”
Responding to the claims of Western countries that Russia will place nuclear weapons in space, Putin said, “Recently, unfounded claims that we will place nuclear weapons in space are being made more and more. Such accusations are unfounded. This is a game to force us into negotiations. “This is only in the interest of the United States,” he said.
