"Putin's Warning: F-16 Bases in Ukraine Are 'Legitimate Targets'"
TL;DR Summary
Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that Russia has no plans to attack NATO countries but warned that air bases hosting F-16 fighter jets would be considered legitimate targets. He also cautioned Ukraine's Western allies against providing air bases for F-16s, which Ukraine is expecting from its partners. Additionally, Russia vetoed a UN Security Council resolution that effectively ended the monitoring of sanctions against North Korea, and a Russian journalist faces extremism charges over an alleged link to opposition politician Aleksei Navalny.
