Putin Warns Russia Will Respond to Attacks With Far Greater Force

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Moscow will respond to attacks on Russian territory with substantially greater force while assuring that temporary disruptions to the country's fuel market will gradually be resolved. Putin Promises Stronger Response to Attacks on Russian Territory Speaking during a visit to the Popular Front exhibition titled Everything for Victory!, where he was shown a model of the Pantsir-S air defense missile and gun system, Putin said Russia would continue to respond to attacks in a proportional but significantly more powerful manner. Our responses will always be reciprocal. Wherever they attempt to strike Russian territory, we will respond in kind, only several times more powerfully. The opponent will feel it. They already do, I hope, and they will continue to feel it on an even greater scale, the president said.

Putin keeps saying Russia will fight until it achieves the ‘goals of the special military operation.’ But it’s not clear what those ‘goals’ even are.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on June 28 that he intends to continue military operations in Ukraine. “Our troops will do everything to achieve the goals of the special military operation,” he said. What exactly those “goals” are remains unclear. In the first two years of the full-scale war, the list changed constantly — from the “denazification” of Ukraine to “protecting the residents of Donbas” and even “uniting the Russian people” — and then Putin and other senior Russian officials gradually began simply invoking the phrase “goals of the SVO” without elaborating further. Here are just some of those statements.
