Putin to Ukraine: "Before taking this step, one should have thought about the consequences"
Ukrainian officials should have considered the consequences before striking Russia's marketplaces and other facilities, he said.
"We faced the adversary's actions against our platforms — both Wildberries and Ozon. By the way, they always take such steps that, frankly speaking, we should have anticipated. But we thought they wouldn't go to this level.
They dared to do this too, and now we are starting to respond. After that, they immediately run to their sponsors, begging them to influence us and stop us. It was the same with energy facilities. There, they are still continuing this. Yesterday, they tried to strike some oil refineries. Even now, some places were struck. There is no serious damage, but they are still continuing their actions.
It's the same situation with e-commerce platforms. There, they took the first step, and we began to respond. Now on that side, they are making an outcry regarding energy, as well as other facilities, including data processing centers and the like. They started it themselves. They shouldn't have started it. Before taking this step, one should have thought carefully about its consequences."
