Dec 16, 2024, 10:38 AM
Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that Russian forces currently hold the initiative along the frontline in Ukraine, asserting that they have gained control over 189 towns throughout the year. He expressed concern regarding the United States' development and potential deployment of short and medium-range missiles, indicating that such actions by the U.S. would compel Russia to lift its self-imposed restrictions on deploying similar missiles. Putin emphasized that Russia is not threatening to use nuclear weapons, describing its stance as a policy of nuclear deterrence. He also warned that if the U.S. continues its military support for Ukraine, Russia may need to take additional measures to ensure its security.
