FALCON POWERS – Russian President Vladimir Putin announced on Saturday that the Ministry of Defense is studying how to respond to potential long-range strikes on Russian territory and will present various options.
In an interview with journalist Pavel Zarubin, Putin commented on the potential strikes deep within Russian territory, stating: “Of course, our military administration is thinking about this and will provide different options for responding.”
Putin previously stated that NATO countries are not only discussing the potential use of Western long-range weapons by Kyiv but are also deciding whether to participate directly in the Ukrainian conflict. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov noted that the president’s remarks regarding the consequences of strikes carried out by Western weapons deep in Russia are very clear and unambiguous, and there is no doubt that they have reached the intended beneficiaries.
