Russian President Vladimir Putin called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s remarks about threats to the safety of Russia’s skies “a bid for terrorism”, APA's Moscow correspondent reports.
“I haven’t heard any such statements, but if that was said out loud, then it’s a bid for state terrorism. And I’d point out that they’re the ones asking us to resume talks, asking for face-to-face meetings. You don’t negotiate with terrorists,” Putin said.
He also said that “if tragedies like this do happen, we’ll find a way to answer.”
“They’re striking ours — they’ll get an answer,” he also said.
