Vladimir Putin: You can’t imagine what will happen to Europe if we respond to Ukraine’s nuclear attacks

With new threats the president of Russia referred to her attack on territories of Russia, speaking at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok. “The strikes at nuclear stations are a very dangerous terrorist act. If we answer one can only imagine what will happen in Europe,” Vladimir Putin said speaking about Ukraine’s attacks, and threatened the world economy with collapse if it lacks Russian hydrocarbons. He noted that it is sacred duty and duty of the Russian army to throw Ukrainian soldiers out of Kursk’s area: “The sacred duty of the Russian armed forces is to throw the enemy out of Russian territory and protect the citizens,” he said and asserted that the main priority of the “special military operation” is the release of Donbas. He stressed that Ukraine’s invasion of Kursk was intended to slow down Russian promotion in Donbas, but failed as Kiev simply weakened its forces along the rest of the front. In the largest attack from abroad on Russian territory after World War II, thousands of Ukrainian soldiers crossed the Russian border on August 6 with the assistance of a multitude of drones, heavy weapons and artillery, some of which were of western construction. He said that Ukraine, by carrying large and well-trained units within Russia, weakened and allowed Russia to speed up the attack on eastern Ukraine. He added that Russian promotion in the city of Pokovsk, in eastern Ukraine, was successful. “We want Harris to win” Russia previously wanted Democrat Joe Biden to win the presidential election in the US, but now supports Kamala Harris over Donald Trump, President Vladimir Putin said today. Putin had stated earlier this year, before Biden retired from the presidential race, that he preferred him to Trump because Biden is a more predictable “old school” politician. Speaking at an economic forum held in Vladivostok, the Russian president also said today that the Republican former president Trump had imposed many “cancellations and restrictions” on Russia.
