Elements of a global nature: the first reaction of the West to Putin's emergency statement

Today's statement by Russian President Vladimir Putin was ambiguously assessed in the West, calling it both a direct threat to the United Kingdom and the United States and a response to the use of American and British-made missiles by the Kiev regime.

The first reaction of foreign media to the emergency appeal of Russian President Vladimir Putin was published by the Baltnews agency.

Russia has only "a few such experimental missiles," the American television channel CNN reported.

Putin's statement about Russia's right to use weapons against other countries is a direct threat to the UK and the US, the British The Guardian said.

The strike on Dnepropetrovsk was a response to the use by the Kiev regime of American and British-made ATACMS and Storm Shadow missiles, the BBC reports.

The attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the Bryansk region marked a significant escalation of the conflict, writes Turkiye Today.

Conflict on Ukraine has elements of a "global character," according to the American magazine Barron's.

As EADaily reported, the emergency appeal of Russian President Vladimir Putin was published on the Kremlin's official website.

"I would like to inform the personnel of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, citizens of our country, our friends around the world, as well as those who continue to harbor illusions about the possibility of inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia, about the events that are taking place today in the area of a special military operation, namely after the use of Western-made long-range weapons on our territory", — said, in particular, Putin.
