‘Russia produces 10 times more missiles than all NATO countries combined’
The fact that Vladimir Putin is not particularly impressed by NATO has long been known. As soon as he sees an opportunity to discredit the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, the Russian president never holds back. Once again, a lot of insults came out of the Russian president's mouth.
Putin called the massive bombing of Ukraine's energy infrastructure a retaliation for the deployment of British and US weapons.
The Russian president also threatened at a summit in Astana, Kazakhstan, on Thursday to possibly also target key decision-making centres in the Ukrainian capital Kiev with his dreaded Oreshnik super missile in the future. ‘We are forced to deploy that missile in response to the actions of our enemy,’ it read. And Putin is walking tall with his new missile, which he says has no equal in the world. ‘If we deploy the missile on a large scale, the force of such an attack will be comparable to that of a nuclear weapon,’ he said. Russia produces 10 times more missiles than all NATO countries combined,’ Putin concluded from Astana.
