Russian Foreign Ministry Compares Ukraine to ‘Worst Terrorist Cells’—Putin Promises More Retaliation

Maria Zakharova called Ukraine’s recent attack on Crimean bridge a “continuation” of old policy.

From TASS:

Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on Tuesday compared Kiev’s latest actions to those of the most heinous terrorist organizations.

According to the Russian diplomat, Kiev has been receiving Western money, weapons, intel and political support for years. The Kiev regime has recently been receiving exactly the same from the West "for the lawless actions it committed in the manner of the worst terrorist cells," she emphasized.

Zakharova said Ukraine’s recent terrorist attack was not an exception but a continuation of the policy the country has been following for decades.

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin denounced Saturday’s attack on the Crimean Bridge as an act of terror and said that Ukraine’s special services were behind it.

Russian President Vladimir Putin also characterizes Kiev’s recent Crimea bridge attack to “terrorism,” promises more retaliation.

From RT:

Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned that any further Ukrainian “terrorist” assaults on Russian soil will be met with a significant military response. He was speaking after a wave of missiles struck Ukraine on Monday morning.

Putin confirmed that Russian troops carried out “massive strikes with long-range precision weapons on Ukrainian objects of energy, and military control and communications.” The response came two days after an explosion damaged the strategic Crimean Bridge, for which officials in Kiev claimed responsibility.

“If there are further attempts to conduct terrorist attacks on our soil, Russia will respond firmly and on a scale corresponding to the threats created against Russia,” Putin added.
