Russian war of aggression: "Pandora's box" opened - Putin threatens Kyiv with a blow
For the first time since the start of the massive Ukrainian drone attacks in Russia, Kremlin chief Putin is speaking out in an interview with Moscow state television. He announces a sharp response from Moscow.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has threatened Ukraine with a harsh response after Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries and logistics centers. He said Ukraine had opened a "Pandora's box" and unleashed a "spirit" that would lead to destructive countermeasures. Putin claimed Ukraine's actions had not damaged Russia's economy or unity, and that Russia would now target Ukraine's economy, particularly its agricultural exports.
He also rejected Ukraine's recent "exotic" proposals for a peace solution, saying talks could only happen based on the current situation on the ground.
