Putin vows ‘lightning response’ against outside party that intervenes in military action in Ukraine

The Russian president has promised a swift response against any outside party that might intervene in the military action in Ukraine, adding that Moscow would use capabilities that other nations do not possess.

Putin also commented on the recently thwarted assassination plot against a popular TV host, saying that Russia is going to protect journalists from harm and intimidation.

The president believes Russia’s ‘special operation’ in Ukraine will be a success, which will ensure the safety of Russia and the LDPR sates.
