“Whoever they are and no matter how much destruction they try to cause, they will face much greater destruction and will regret what they are trying to do in our country,” the Russian leader said at a televised government meeting.
In an interview published by Russia 1 TV channel journalist Pavel Zarubin on December 22, Mr. Putin was asked whether the deep involvement of the United States in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine means that World War III has begun.
“You know, they shouldn’t scare people,” the Russian president replied. But he added that “there are a lot of dangers and they continue to grow.”
"We see what our current opponents are doing. They are escalating the situation," Putin said after Zarubin mentioned the Biden administration's plans to sharply increase arms supplies to Ukraine in its final weeks in office.
“If they want it that way, if their lives are so bad, let them escalate,” the Russian president stressed in a recorded conversation after his year-end press conference on December 19.
He stressed that Russia would "always respond to any challenge" coming from the West.
