Kremlin Warns of Harsh Response to Ukrainian Strikes on Economic Targets
Russia has threatened a harsh response to Ukrainian strikes on its economic and trade infrastructure, while insisting its forces are already advancing and no escalation is needed.
The Kremlin has issued a stern warning to Ukraine, stating that Russia will respond harshly to any strikes on its economic and trade infrastructure. The statement, made on Thursday, signals Moscow's growing concern over attacks that target its commercial and financial assets.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov conveyed the warning, emphasizing that such actions would not go unanswered. The threat comes amid ongoing hostilities, where Ukraine has increasingly sought to disrupt Russian logistics and supply chains.
However, Peskov also indicated that Russia sees no need to escalate its military campaign in Ukraine. He asserted that Russian forces are already advancing on the ground, suggesting that the current level of military operations is sufficient to achieve Moscow's objectives.
The remarks highlight a dual approach from the Kremlin: a firm commitment to retaliate against economic strikes, paired with a confidence that its military progress does not require a broader escalation of the conflict.
