Russian President Vladimir Putin warned on Thursday that Moscow would consider using “all types of weapons” if its Baltic exclave of Kaliningrad faced a direct attack, speaking at the Valdai Discussion Club in Moscow. He dismissed suggestions that the statement amounted to a nuclear threat, clarifying that a recent Foreign Ministry letter on Kaliningrad’s defense referenced “all means” but not nuclear arms specifically .
The warning came as Ukraine escalated its own strikes, with President Volodymyr Zelensky confirming the first combat use of Kyiv’s FP-7 tactical ballistic missile. Zelensky also announced Ukrainian forces had targeted a Russian vessel in the Black Sea, a drone launch site in Oryol region, an oil facility in Samara, and a Russian supply depot in Bryansk .
Meanwhile, Russia intensified its aerial campaign against Ukraine. Two drones struck Kyiv’s Southern Bridge, disrupting metro and ground transport, while another hit a school in the capital, causing structural damage but no casualties, according to Mayor Vitali Klitschko. A drone also struck the grounds of a nuclear research facility in Kyiv on Wednesday, sparking a fire that was quickly extinguished without damaging the reactor .
Putin rejected calls for a long-range strikes ceasefire, stating, “We are told: 'Let them stop striking your refineries, and you will stop striking their ships.' It is simply ridiculous,” according to AFP .
