Overview

• Putin said all NATO members are effectively fighting Russia by supplying Ukraine with intelligence, weapons and training.
• He dismissed claims that Russia plans to attack NATO countries as nonsense but promised a rapid, very significant response to European militarisation.
• He cautioned that using U.S. Tomahawk missiles for Ukrainian strikes would require direct American military involvement and would escalate relations with Washington.
• He denied Russian involvement in recent drone sightings over Europe, joking, "I won't do it anymore" when asked about drones in Denmark.
• He suggested Russia could strike Ukrainian nuclear facilities in response to alleged shelling near the Russian‑occupied Zaporizhzhia plant.
