Putin warns West of potential strikes on nations supplying Ukraine with weapons
Vladimir Putin stated that Russia has the right to strike countries supplying weapons to Ukraine, marking a significant escalation in rhetoric against the West. He emphasized Russia's readiness for any scenario amid the ongoing conflict. In a televised address, Putin claimed that Ukraine's recent missile strikes using US and UK-supplied weapons had failed. He warned that the conflict has taken on a "global character" and reiterated Russia's willingness to respond decisively to any aggression. This warning comes as the US has increased military aid to Ukraine, allowing the use of advanced missiles against Russian targets. Putin's remarks reflect heightened tensions as the conflict continues to evolve.
