The leader of the aggressor state made the remarks while viewing exhibits presented by the so-called "People’s Front," where he was shown, among other things, a toy model of a Pantsir-S system.
"Our responses will always be reciprocal. Wherever they may try to strike Russian territory, we will respond in kind, only several times more powerfully. The enemy will feel it. It already does, I hope. And it will continue to feel it on an increasing scale," the Russian dictator announced.
Dictator acknowledges success of Ukraine’s "long-range sanctions"
- Putin acknowledged that Ukraine’s deep strikes on Russian oil refineries had caused serious damage to Russian logistics. While assuring those present that Russia’s energy sector had a "very strong foundation," he urged Russians to be patient.
"As for energy, the foundation of Russia’s energy sector is very strong and reliable. Yes, they are currently causing us, as they say, certain problems with petroleum products. I think the situation [with fuel] will gradually improve," TASS propagandists quoted the dictator as saying.
