Russian President Putin has bluntly said that if Ukraine was given long-range weapons like Tomahawk cruise missiles to attack inside Russia, Moscow’s reaction would be “overwhelming and stunning”. Putin was responding to journalists on the possibility of Zelensky acquiring long-range weapons capable of striking deep into Russian territory.
He was responding to the situation arising after the cancellation of the Budapest summit between Trump and Putin and the US imposing new sanctions on Russia’s two largest oil companies. Putin described the new sanctions as another attempt to put pressure on Russia.
Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has called the new US sanctions an “act of war against Russia”.
Medvedev who is president Vladimir Putin Said, “If any of the many commentators still have any confusion, then you understand. America is our enemy. And their talkative ‘peacekeeper’ is now on a full-scale war against Russia.”
Budapest summit cancelled, new restrictions, new round of tension
Let us tell you that the proposed Budapest summit for the meeting between US President Trump and Russian President Putin has been cancelled. Trump had announced this on Wednesday. After this, America has imposed sanctions on two Russian oil companies, Ruq Oil and Rosneft. These two companies extract 50 percent of Russia’s oil. ukraine long range tomahawk cruise missileIs demanding these from America.
Tomahawk missiles have a range of about 1,600 kilometers and are used by the US Navy. Zelensky has said that these missiles will be used only on Russian military targets.
This statement of President Putin has come in this new scenario.
Any self-respecting country…
President Putin said, “No self-respecting country can bow before external pressure, especially a country like Russia.” He reminded that most of the American sanctions on Russia were imposed during Trump’s first term.
Putin said that it was Trump who proposed the meeting during their phone conversation in Budapest on October 16. “We believe that this meeting has not been canceled but postponed.”
Putin said, “We believe that dialogue is better than any dispute or war.” He also indicated that both sides were in touch behind the scenes. Putin warned that US sanctions on Russian crude would have a negative impact on American consumers, who would feel the impact of skyrocketing global oil prices, as a crucial election awaits Trump.
In this way Putin has made it clear that if Russia is attacked with Tomahawk missiles, a dangerous response will be given.
Medvedev is harsh towards the West
Medvedev, unlike his boss (Putin), is known for his aggressive statements against the West. “This doesn’t change the main thing,” he wrote on his home Max channel. “The decisions taken are acts of war against Russia. And now Trump has completely aligned himself with crazy Europe.”
“This new swing of Trump’s pendulum has a clear positive side. Now Ukraine can be attacked without worrying about unnecessary negotiations and victory can be achieved wherever possible – on the ground, not behind a table,” Medvedev said.
