Drawing parallels with second world war, Putin said: ‘A modern war with Russia will be completely different’
Vladimir Putin has said Russia is being threatened by German tanks “again” as it was during the second world war, warning that Moscow is ready to respond to aggression from the west.
Speaking at events marking the 80th anniversary of the Red Army’s victory over Nazi Germany in Stalingrad, known today as Volgograd, Putin drew parallels between the Soviet Union’s fight in the second world war and Moscow’s intervention in Ukraine.
