MOSCOW. April 27 (Interfax) - Russian President Vladimir Putin said that in the event of third-country interference in the events taking place in Ukraine, the response from Russia will be lightning-fast.
"What I would like to note and say now, I already said this at the very beginning of the special military operation: should someone - I stress once again - should someone decide to interfere from the outside in the ongoing events and create for Russia threats of a strategic nature unacceptable for us, they should know that our response to counterstrikes will be lightning-fast, rapid," Putin said.
"We have all the tools for this. The kind that no one can boast about now. But we won't boast [about them]. We will use them if required. And I want everyone to know that," he said, adding: "All decisions have been taken on this score."
