Putin Warns Opponents About Consequences of Attacking Russia, Including Nuclear Response

Vladimir Putin stated that Russia's adversaries understand the potential consequences of any attack against the country, including the use of nuclear weapons. These statements were made during a meeting with the FSB security service, while earlier the Russian intelligence agency SVR had expressed concerns about a possible transfer of nuclear technology to Ukraine. Russia warned it would inform the US about Ukraine's efforts to acquire nuclear weapons, while also accusing Britain and France of planning to supply Ukraine with such weapons. Putin also ordered the strengthening of protection for energy infrastructure and transport, warning “enemies” not to push Moscow too hard.
