Putin threatens Ukraine with 'catastrophic response'

The president of Ukraine will participate in the annual NATO summit, which will take place next week in The Hague, Netherlands, reports the Kyiv Independent , citing information from the European Council.

Both European Commission President Ursula Von Der Leyen and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte are expected to meet Zelensky on Tuesday.

A few days ago, the Guardian newspaper reported, citing Ukrainian sources, that Zelensky was reconsidering his presence at the summit due to the presence of Donald Trump.

However, the President of Ukraine is on the agenda revealed this Friday by the European Council.

Russia's president has threatened Ukraine with a "catastrophic response" if Kiev's forces use a dirty bomb to attack Russian territory, Turkey's Anadolu news agency reports.

The Russian head of state recalled that Russia's nuclear doctrine provides for a severe response to existential threats, adding that the consequences for Kiev would be dire.
