Vladimir Putin amenință Europa cu represalii dacă navele rusești vor fi confiscate: Vom fi forțați să răspundem în același fel
Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that Russia will respond harshly if European states confiscate Russian commercial ships, labeling such actions as piracy. This statement comes as the EU intensifies measures against Russia's shadow fleet, expanding sanctions on hundreds of vessels allegedly circumventing restrictions. Putin emphasized that any confiscation would prompt a response from Russia, potentially beyond the immediate area of the seizures. He also criticized NATO for increasing its presence in the Asia-Pacific region, claiming it poses a threat to Russia.
