Russian Strategic Nuclear Forces are in full readiness for use, — Putin.

Furthermore, according to Putin, the “Zircon” sea-based hypersonic strike complex has already been used in the battle.

He added that Russia is currently completing tests of the “Burevestnik” nuclear-armed cruise missile and the “Poseidon” nuclear-powered unmanned underwater vehicle.

"The first mass-produced "Sarmat" intercontinental heavy ballistic missiles. And we will soon demonstrate them in the base areas on combat duty," he said.

Putin has traditionally repeated that "we did not start this war in Donbas" and once again stated that the Russian occupiers will do "everything to end it, to eradicate Nazism, to
solve all the tasks of the Special Military Operation”.

In addition, following Macron's words, Putin threatened "tragic consequences" for countries that dare to send their troops to Ukraine.

"They must understand that we also have weapons that can hit targets on their territory," the Russian president said.
