MOSCOW, February 29. /TASS/. Russia's adversaries should remember that the country has weapons capable of hitting targets on their territory, Russian President Vladimir Putin said in his Address to the Federal Assembly.
According to the Russian head of state, the consequences for possible interventionists in Russia will be much more tragic than in previous eras. "They (the West - TASS) should finally understand that we also have weapons, yes, they know about it, and I’ve just said this, there are weapons that can hit targets on their territory, and that everything they are inventing now, what they are scaring the whole world with, that all this really threatens a conflict with the use of nuclear weapons, and thus the destruction of civilization," the president said.
The Russian leader stressed that the actions of the United States and its satellites have actually led to the dismantling of the European security system. According to Putin, "this creates risks for everyone."
"Don't they realize that or what? These are people, you know, who have not gone through hard trials. They have already forgotten what war is. Here we are, even our current generation, went through such hard trials during the fight against international terrorism in the Caucasus. Now the same thing is happening in the conflict in Ukraine. They think it's all some kind of cartoon for them," he said.
"In fact, Russophobia, like other ideologies of racism, national superiority and exclusivity, blinds, deprives of reason," the president emphasized.
