Vladimir Putin vows to respond to Ukrainian attacks on Russian soil. Denounces incursions of pro-Ukraine fighters as an attempt to disrupt election.
Putin must be re-elected on Sunday, without opposition, after three days of voting. Since Friday morning, Russians have been called to the polls, while, in recent days, ground assaults and drone and shell strikes on the Russian side of the border with Ukraine have increased, causing several deaths and injuries, according to the authorities. “These enemy strikes do not and will not go unpunished,” assured the Russian president.
