Russian President Vladimir Putin said this evening (Friday) that he has no regrets about the deadly missile attacks on civilian targets in Ukraine, adding that his country's actions were correct.

However, he stressed that now there is no need for more "massive" attacks on the country.

The latest missile attacks on Ukraine came after the bombing of the Crimean bridge last week.

At the time, Putin called the incident a "terrorist attack," and later blamed Ukraine's special services for the incident.

Earlier this week, the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) arrested five Russians and three Ukrainian and Armenian citizens for the bridge explosion.

"There is currently no need for further massive attacks."

On Tuesday, about 50 countries gathered at NATO headquarters and pledged to arm Ukraine during the winter and beyond, with new air defense systems. US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said that support is unlimited. The United States reiterated its commitment to defend "every inch" of NATO territory "And in preparation for talks held yesterday between the defense ministers of the military alliance, which will also include discussions of the NATO nuclear planning group - the most senior body for nuclear issues.

Russia, on the other hand, said that Ukraine joining as a member of NATO would lead to a third world war.

The deputy secretary of the Russian Security Council, Alexander Benediktov, told the TASS news agency in an interview that "Kyiv is aware of the fact that such a step is an escalation that will lead to a third world war."

According to him, "apparently she wants to make an international noise and draw attention to Ukraine again."

He also said that the West's aid to Ukraine is "direct intervention in the conflict".
