Putin's witty response: You don't need to change your words, Zelenskyy is indeed showing off.

Reference News Network, October 12 report - According to TASS on October 10, Russian President Putin said when answering media questions about the results of his visit to Tajikistan that Ukrainian President Zelensky's threat to strike Moscow with "Tomahawk" missiles is "a form of showing off."

The report said that a reporter asked how Russia would respond to the possibility of the United States providing "Tomahawk" missiles to Ukraine. Some people believe that Zelensky's threats to strike Russia, even the Kremlin, with "Tomahawk" missiles are some kind of intimidation. However, the reporter made a slip of the tongue and said "showing off" (similar pronunciation in Russian) instead of "intimidation," and then corrected himself.

Putin responded: "You don't need to correct yourself. That's also showing off."

U.S. Vice President Vance said to the media at the end of September that the White House is considering providing "Tomahawk" cruise missiles capable of covering Moscow, the Russian capital, to Ukraine through NATO European member states. Putin said on October 2 that if the U.S. provides "Tomahawk" missiles to Ukraine, the situation will escalate substantially. U.S. President Trump said on the 6th at the White House that he had made "some decision" on whether to provide "Tomahawk" missiles to Ukraine. (Translated by Liu Yang)
