Russian President Vladimir Putin warned on Wednesday that Moscow would respond to any attempt to seize Russian merchant vessels, calling potential European Union action against Russian ships “piracy and outright robbery.” Speaking aboard the Pacific Fleet’s missile cruiser Varyag in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Putin said Russia would deliver a “mirror-like” response and could act wherever it deemed necessary, including within the Pacific Fleet’s area of responsibility. His remarks came during the final stage of major Russian naval exercises involving dozens of warships, aircraft and more than 13,000 military personnel across the Sea of Japan, Sea of Okhotsk and northwestern Pacific Ocean. #putin #russia #europe #europeanunion #russiannavy #russianwarships #merchantships #shipseizure #putinwarning #russiawarning #pacificfleet #pacificocean #geopolitics #breakingnews #worldnews #ukrainewar #russiaukrainewar #moscow #navalforces #timesnowworld Stay connected with Times Now World for real-time g
