Violent threats from Kremlin dictator and warmonger Vladimir Putin (69).
Russia's rulers are threatening heavy attacks on the country if western long-range missiles are delivered to Ukraine and even speak of "annihilation.”
Putin: "If they deliver, then we will draw the appropriate conclusions and use our means of destruction, of which we have enough, to deal blows to those objects that we have not hitherto attacked," Putin said in a statement published on Sunday Interview by the state television channel Rossiya 1.
The western arms deliveries aim to prolong the conflict in Ukraine as much as possible, Putin claimed.
Words that express frustration. Because: Putin's war of aggression against Ukraine has not gone as he expected.
The dictator had counted on rapid military successes - and completely underestimated the resistance of the Ukrainians. In addition, there were arms deliveries from the West, which noticeably strengthened the Ukrainian army.
Exactly THAT enrages Putin, who is also considered in poor health.
His armed forces also suffer from high losses; there are problems with supplies and logistics - serious tactical mistakes!
But it is also true: that the Russian military is not yet at the end of its strength, and the general mobilization (deployment of all available armed forces) has not yet taken place. So, the Kremlin despot can escalate even further – despite all the setbacks.
Putin seemed keen to give the impression, at least on television, that his cruel war of aggression was going roughly according to plan.
Putin: “There is nothing new here.”
Putin was relaxed about delivering state-of-the-art Himar multiple rocket launchers announced by the United States. For Ukraine, this will not change anything fundamental in power distribution. "There is nothing new here," Putin said.
The Ukrainian armed forces are already using such Russian-made systems, and the US deliveries would instead replace destroyed weapons.
Nevertheless, it is crucial here which missiles would be used. According to all that could be heard, the Americans wanted to deliver missiles between 45 and 70 kilometers. According to Putin, this is roughly what the previous Uragan, Smerch and Grad rockets did.
Putin boasts of apparent successes.
The picture is similar to the artillery ordered by Ukraine in the west. "This is also about making up for what was lost and destroyed in the fighting," said the Russian head of state pompously.
In addition, the Russian air defense has now destroyed most of the combat drones in Ukraine. "Our air defense systems crack them like nuts," Putin claimed.
His line of communication: is a mixture of threats, boasts and whitewashing.
According to information from Moscow, tanks freshly delivered from abroad were deliberately destroyed during the shelling of the capital Kyiv. On the other hand, the Ukrainian side spoke of damaged railway infrastructure.
