Putin said Russian forces are preparing massive strikes on Ukraine’s energy facilities and dismissed warnings of a new mobilization as “absolute nonsense.”
- On Tuesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered The Armed Forces to prepare "massive strikes" against Ukraine's energy infrastructure, framing the attacks as retaliation for recent Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian fuel facilities.

- Dismissing reports of a new mobilization wave as "absolute nonsense," Putin also rejected suggestions that the Kremlin's increased control over strategic facilities constitutes nationalization during the press conference.
- Rejecting potential peace talks with what he termed "terrorists," Putin also denounced President Volodymyr Zelensky's warning to airlines, labeling the statement a "declaration of state terrorism."
- After Putin lashed out at Germany, he dismissed findings that Russia was responsible for an explosive-laden drone operation at Leipzig and Halle Airport, claiming the conclusion was a "serious" mistake.
