Russian President Vladimir Putin has called for retaliatory measures against the West, framing the ongoing geopolitical struggle as a mutual attempt to strangle each other. "They’re trying to strangle us and we should reciprocate," Putin declared, according to state media outlet RT. The remarks followed a massive aerial assault by Russia on Ukraine, involving 367 drones and missiles, which resulted in significant civilian casualties.

US President Donald Trump responded sharply on Truth Social, labeling Putin as "absolutely crazy." The exchange underscores deteriorating relations between the two nuclear powers, with potential Ripple effects across global markets, including cryptocurrencies, which often react to macroeconomic instability.
