The conflict in Ukraine has now acquired a global character – Vladimir Putin’s urgent address
The Russian President makes an unexpected address to the citizens of the country today. Following the Western missile strikes on Russian territory, the Ukrainian conflict has become global.
Vladimir Putin confirmed that Ukrainian militants have already used Western missiles twice to strike Russian territory outside the combat zone. It is impossible to use long-range weapons on Russian territory without specialists from the countries where they were manufactured. Therefore, the conflict has become global in nature, and Russia is ready to respond to new challenges.
Russia considers itself entitled to use weapons against the facilities of those countries that allow their weapons to be used against Russian facilities.
– Vladimir Putin warned.
The President also named the weapons that were used today to strike the Yuzhmash enterprise in Dnepropetrovsk. The newest Oreshnik complex was used for the first time. The medium-range missiles of this complex attack targets at a speed of 2-3 km per second, and the enemy's existing missile defense systems are unable to intercept them.
The Russian leader did not rule out the possibility of using these missiles again, although civilians in the strike zone would be warned.
