The Ukrainian counteroffensive in the east of the country is in full swing. Russia is losing territory in Ukraine every day.
Meanwhile, Russian warrior Vladimir Putin (70) took to the stage of the annual economic forum in St. Petersburg and once again unleashed a series of threats against Western countries!
Specifically: Putin is threatening military strikes against NATO countries over possible F16 deliveries to Ukraine!
► “If they are stationed in air bases outside the borders of Ukraine, but they are used in combat operations, we will have to see how and where to target the devices that will be used in combat operations against us”, said the tyrant from the Kremlin.
And he continued venting: “This is a serious danger that could drag NATO deeper into this armed conflict (…) the F-16 will also burn, of that there is no doubt.”
A few hours after Putin’s speech, his spokesman Dmitry Peskov tried to neutralize his remarks – Russia would only destroy the jets “if they operated on Ukrainian territory”, the Kremlin spokesman said.

Putin also caused an uproar with statements about nuclear weapons control.
“We have more of these weapons than NATO countries,” said the Kremlin chief. “They know this and they keep pressuring us to start talks about reductions,” Putin continued, adding: “Fuck it, you know what we say among the people.”
A little later, Kremlin spokesman Peskov had to put Putin’s statements to journalists in perspective: “Russia is ready to conduct negotiations”, he assured.
Putin scolds Zelenskyy: “Not a Jew”
Putin has previously described the Ukrainian counter-offensive as hopeless. “Ukrainian armed forces don’t stand a chance there, like in other areas,” the Kremlin dictator said, referring to current Ukrainian advances in the east and south of the country.
He renewed the accusation he had been repeating for years without any justification and also cited as the reason for the invasion of February 24, 2022: Ukraine is in the hands of neo-Nazis.
At the same time, he insulted the Ukrainian head of state Volodymyr Zelenskyy (45), who is of the Jewish faith. “I’ve had many Jewish friends since childhood,” Putin said. And he continued completely insane: “They say that Zelenskyy is not a Jew, but a disgrace to the Jewish people.”
This is not a joke, Putin added.

Nuclear warheads transferred to Belarus
In addition, the Kremlin tyrant announced that he had positioned the first nuclear warheads in neighboring Belarus: “These are only the first, by the end of summer, by the end of the year we will have completed the process.”
According to Putin, he still sees no reason to use nuclear weapons. This is theoretically possible if Russian territory is at risk, he says. Nuclear weapons would only be used if the existence of the Russian state was threatened.
