RT by @mikenov: RT by @mikenov: Putin: “Take a grenade from a Soviet soldier, you fascist, f*ck” Putin called a proposal to stop strikes on Ukrainian ships in exchange for an end to attacks on Russian oil refineries “pointless”. According to him, Russia is attacking Ukrainian shipping because Ukraine supposedly “knocked out” about 100 Russian vessels. Putin said Ukraine was the first to strike Russian ships, and for that it got a “mirror response.” So in the Kremlin, apparently, they decided the best way to solve the problem is to hit even harder. Asked to stop the strikes, Putin delivered a pompous story about a “grenade from a Soviet soldier.”
