Putin explained what lies behind talk of 'authorization' for strikes on Russian Federation
Vladimir Putin addressed the discussions surrounding 'authorization' for strikes against the Russian Federation, asserting that the Ukrainian forces lack the necessary capabilities to utilize advanced Western long-range precision weapons. He noted that conducting such strikes would require intelligence from NATO satellites, which Ukraine does not have access to. Furthermore, he emphasized that only NATO personnel are equipped to operate these missile systems. Putin argued that the debate should not focus on allowing or forbidding Ukraine to carry out attacks within Russian territory, but rather on whether NATO countries are directly engaging in the conflict, suggesting this would fundamentally alter the nature of the war against Russia. He stated that Russia would respond suitably to any emerging threats.
