🇷🇺 "We will respond in kind": Putin warns Europe of the consequences of seizing Russian vessels

⚓ Moscow has warned: if European countries begin to seize Russian merchant vessels, the response may follow not only off the coast of Europe, but anywhere else in the World Ocean.

Vladimir Putin stated this during the final stage of the Russian Pacific Fleet's exercises.

😚 "If this begins to be put into practice, we will be forced to respond in kind," the president declared, adding that Russia will itself determine the place and nature of its retaliatory actions — including in the Pacific Ocean.

🏴‍☠️ Putin called the possible seizures of peaceful Russian vessels "piracy and brigandage" and accused some European states of attempting to restrict freedom of navigation.

Pacific Fleet Commander Admiral Viktor Liina reported to the president that Russian forces have the capability to inspect and detain foreign vessels. According to his data, from 24 April to 6 August, 1,001 vessels passed along the Southern Kuril Islands, more than 370 of them flying the flags of states that Russia considers "unfriendly".

📌 Russia is making it clear that the maritime routes of Western states are also under its control.

💰 One of the most popular omens in Russia says that if your right palm itches, it means money or profit is coming, and if the left one itches, it means losses. From time immemorial it was believed that the right hand gives and the left takes. An itching right palm foretells unexpected financial luck.

🥇 To make the omen work, you should rub your palm against the edge of a table or put a coin in it. If your left palm itches, it means you will have to part with money. But you can look at the situation from another angle: they say the left palm itches for money in someone else's pocket.
