Russian President Vladimir Putin reaffirmed his country’s stand to cope with the attack with West-made weapons on the Russian territory in a press conference on November 28.

He emphasized that having attacked Russia with West-made weapons means direct involvement of the West in the Ukrainian dispute and Russia will tackle the act of aggression.

Mentioning that the advent of the new-type intermediate-range ballistic missile Oreshnik has consolidated the military position of Russia, he said that the missile can be used to attack munitions industry objects or decision-making centres in Kiev.

As regards the fact that the West is voicing the intention to transfer nuclear weapons to Ukraine, he said Russia will never tolerate it and that if Ukraine takes over the weapons, Russia will use its all means of destruction.

Saying that the current internal circumstances and policies of Europe have worsened the relationship between Russia and European countries, he added that Europe is dancing to the tune of the US while suffering losses.
