Hey there, globetrotters! 🌎 Russian President Vladimir Putin just dropped a major warning that's got the world talking. In a televised address on Thursday, Putin said that recent attacks on Russia's Kursk and Bryansk regions using Western missiles have given the Ukraine conflict a global twist.
\"Since this moment, as we have underscored repeatedly, the conflict in Ukraine, provoked by the West, has obtained elements of global nature,\" Putin stated. 😲
He didn't stop there. Putin vowed that Russia will respond decisively if things escalate further in Ukraine. He emphasized that Russia has the right to use weapons against military facilities of countries that target Russia. Talk about serious business! 🛡️
\"I would like to stress once again that it is not Russia that is destroying the international security system, but the United States,\" he added, pointing fingers at the US. 🔥
In a surprising turn, Putin also confirmed that Russia has successfully tested a new medium-range ballistic missile called Oreshnik in response to enemy actions. Missile tests amid tensions? This sounds like a plot straight out of an action movie! 🎬
What does this mean for the rest of us? 🌐 With these developments, the situation between Russia and Ukraine is heating up, and it's something the whole world is keeping an eye on. Stay tuned for more updates! 📰
