Speaking from Moscow, Putin warned that Ukraine\u2019s actions have crossed a critical threshold, stating, \u201cThey have prepared their own end with this action. There is no more red line; they will regret what they did.\u201d The remarks, delivered with uncharacteristic intensity, signal a potential escalation in the Russia-Ukraine war, raising concerns across Africa and the global community about the broader implications for regional stability and international diplomacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ukrainian operation, reported to have targeted five Russian airfields, including the Belaya airbase, involved 117 first-person-view kamikaze drones, destroying or damaging an estimated 34% of Russia\u2019s strategic cruise missile carriers, including aging Tu-95 and Tu-22M bombers. Described by Ukrainian officials as a defensive response to Russian missile attacks on civilian targets, the operation has been hailed in some quarters as a tactical success, crippling a portion of Russia\u2019s long-range strike capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Putin\u2019s response suggests that Moscow views the strikes as a direct challenge to its military sovereignty, prompting a reevaluation of its strategic approach.<br>For Western nations, particularly those advocating for non-alignment, Putin\u2019s statement raises alarms about the war\u2019s potential to disrupt global trade, energy markets, and food security issues that disproportionately affect the continent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Juba Global News Network In a fiery statement issued today, Russian President Vladimir Putin denounced&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1199,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[643,1,837,782],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3120","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-more-articles","category-news","category-russia","category-world"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/directtopic.com\/jubaglobal.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3120","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/directtopic.com\/jubaglobal.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/directtopic.com\/jubaglobal.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/directtopic.com\/jubaglobal.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1199"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/directtopic.com\/jubaglobal.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3120"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/directtopic.com\/jubaglobal.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3120\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3122,"href":"https:\/\/directtopic.com\/jubaglobal.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3120\/revisions\/3122"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/directtopic.com\/jubaglobal.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3120"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/directtopic.com\/jubaglobal.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3120"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/directtopic.com\/jubaglobal.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3120"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
