Russian President Vladimir Putin said that strikes deep inside Russia with Tomahawk or other long‑range weapons would receive a “stunning” response, answering reporters’ questions, TASS reports.

“This is an attempt to escalate tensions. But if such weapons are used to strike Russian territory, the response will be very serious, if not stunning. Let them think about that,” the Russian president said.

It should be recalled that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has repeatedly asked the United States to provide Tomahawk missiles. Russia, in turn, has repeatedly warned about the serious consequences of such a move.
