'If Russia Is A Paper Tiger, Then What Is NATO?': Putin Responds To Trump's Remarks
Putin warned that supplying Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine could trigger a new escalation and claimed Russia is advancing despite NATO opposition, challenging Trump's 'paper tiger' claim.
- On Thursday at the Valdai Discussion Group in Sochi, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Moscow would respond swiftly if Europe provoked it and warned countermeasures would not be long in coming.
- Last week, U.S. President Donald Trump argued Ukraine could reclaim all territory and posted on Truth Social that Russia had been fighting aimlessly for three and a half years.
- On the risk of escalation, Putin stated that U.S. supplies of Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine would trigger dangerous escalation, adding, `It is impossible to use Tomahawks without the direct participation of American military personnel`.
- On military posture, Putin said Russian forces advanced along the entire front, controlling almost all Luhansk province, about 81% of Donetsk region, and about 75% of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions, while accusing NATO members of supplying Ukraine.
- Speaking to international audiences, Putin urged calm and said `Russian–U.S. relations are at their lowest point in memory` on Thursday.
