Russia Warns Kiev of Possible Retaliatory Strike at Any Moment

Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said on Thursday that Moscow has warned Kiev of a potential retaliatory strike that could occur at any time. Shoigu told the Security Council that Russia is prepared to respond strongly if Ukraine continues its attacks. The statement follows a series of escalations between the two sides, though no actual strike has yet taken place.

Shoigu’s remarks were made in a brief address to the Security Council, where he emphasized Russia’s readiness to strike back. He did not specify the type of weapon or target, but underscored the seriousness of the threat.

The warning comes amid ongoing tensions in eastern Ukraine, with both sides accusing each other of escalating the conflict. No further details have been released about the potential strike’s timing or location.
