Russian President Vladimir Putin threatened "lightning-fast" retaliatory strikes on any country that intervenes in what Russia calls their "special military operation' in Ukraine.
During a speech before Russia's Federal Assembly Putin said, "What I would like to note and say now, I already spoke about this at the very beginning of the special military operation. Let me stress again: if someone intends to intervene in the ongoing events from the outside and creates strategic threats for Russia that are unacceptable to us, they should know that our retaliatory strikes will be lightning-fast".
"We have all the tools for this, such that no one can boast now. And we will not brag, we will use them if necessary,” Putin continued. “And I want everyone to know about it, we have made all the decisions on this matter" he added.
