Against the backdrop of attacks on Russian tankers in the Black Sea, Putin said that the aggressor country will intensify attacks on Ukrainian ports and ships, reports Economic Truth.
“What retaliatory measures can there be? First, we will expand the range of our strikes on port facilities and ships entering Ukrainian ports,” he told reporters, commenting on the latest incidents with tankers in the Black Sea.
He added that “the most radical way is to cut Ukraine off from the sea.”
Putin also threatened to attack tankers of Ukraine’s allied countries if attacks on Russian ships continue.

The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry responded to the Kremlin leader’s threats.
“Yesterday he said he was ready to fight all winter. Today he is threatening seaports and freedom of navigation. And these threats are aimed, first of all, at Odesa, which President Trump spoke about with great warmth,” commented the head of the department, Andriy Sybiha.
He stressed that Russia “must stop the bloodshed it has started.” And if this does not happen, then there must be consequences for Putin.
