Vladimir Putin says Russia will hit Ukraine's "most sensitive economic sectors" after Kyiv strikes

Nordic and Baltic leaders visited Kyiv this weekend in a display of solidarity, and Norway announced it will provide Ukraine with another 85 billion kroner—about $9.2 billion—in 2027, matching the amount planned for 2026 and covering defense and civilian needs. In remarks released Saturday, Russian President Vladimir Putin reportedly said Ukraine had set off severe consequences by striking Russian economic infrastructure, and he warned that Moscow would aim retaliation at Ukrainian economic assets in response. The exchange reflects intensifying long-range drone campaigns by both sides targeting economic infrastructure far from the front lines, as the conflict approaches its fifth year.
