Moscow’s response will be lightning fast if someone wants to interfere in the events in Ukraine and will create unacceptable threats of a strategic nature for Russia, President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting with the Council of Legislators.
«We have all the tools for this— such as no one can boast of now. And we will not brag, we will use them if necessary. All our decisions on this matter have been made,” he said.

Russia has been conducting a special military operation in Ukraine since February 24. Three days after it began, Putin ordered Russia’s deterrent forces, which also include strategic nuclear forces, to be brought into a special containment regime. On February 28, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu reported that the order had been executed and the duty forces of the Strategic Missile Forces, the Northern and Pacific Fleets, and Long-range Aviation had begun combat duty with a reinforced composition.
In addition, on April 20, Russia announced the first successful test launch of an intercontinental missile “Sarmat”. Putin, who watched the tests via video link, noted that there are no analogues of this complex in the world and will not be for a long time. “This truly unique weapon will strengthen the combat potential of our armed forces, reliably ensure Russia’s security from external threats and make those who, in the heat of frenzied, aggressive rhetoric, are trying to threaten our country think,” the president said.
He said that Russia would “respond with lightning speed” to possible threats after the statements of the British authorities. Thus, British Deputy Defense Minister James Hippy noted that London considers it permissible to strike at “legitimate military targets” on the territory of Russia with the help of Western weapons to disrupt the supply of the Russian army. After the statement of the British Minister, the Ministry of Defense warned that the Russian military “are in round-the-clock readiness to strike back with high-precision long-range weapons at the decision-making centers in Kiev”.
