Putin vows ‘significant’ response to ‘Europe’s militarization’

SOCHI: Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday promised a “significant” response to “Europe’s militarization,” as he addressed a foreign policy forum in southern Russia. “We are closely monitoring the rising militarization of Europe,” he told the audience, adding: “Retaliatory measures by Russia will not take long. The response to such threats will be very significant.” “Russia will never show weakness or indecisiveness,” Putin added. Relations between Russia and the EU spiralled downward after Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, leading the bloc to bolster its defense.
