Putin’s Threat to Ukraine

Putin also said that after the latest attacks, Ukraine is on the same level as international terrorist organizations. “The responses will be of the same magnitude as the threats against Russia. In case of new attempts of terrorist acts on our territory, Russia’s response will be harsh,” Putin said, referring to kyiv’s truck bomb attack on the site that connects the country to the Crimean peninsula.
