Putin warns of retaliation against Ukraine's sensitive economic sectors FAST-MOVING
Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned that Moscow will retaliate against Ukraine by targeting its most sensitive economic sectors. He characterized Ukraine's recent campaign of drone strikes on Russian economic infrastructure—including oil refineries and e-commerce warehouses like Wildberries—as opening a 'Pandora's box.'
In response to these strikes, Russia has targeted Ukrainian economic assets, specifically impacting grain exports through the Black Sea. Putin asserted that these attacks on agricultural exports will not lead to global food shortages, claiming Russia can sufficiently replace Ukrainian supplies despite current logistical challenges. This follows Russia's 2023 withdrawal from the Black Sea grain export agreement.
While Putin emphasized that Russia remains open to peace negotiations, he stated such talks must be based on 'realities on the ground' rather than what he termed 'exotic' proposals. The escalation marks an intensifying focus on economic warfare between the two nations.
