putin commander—in—chief. it's been weeks now since we last saw him publicly directing military operations. you will perhaps remember he ordered officials some weeks ago to put russia's nuclear forces on special alert. this was very much, i think, a display for russians, and that's because bear in mind mr putin and his propaganda machine have been making a great deal recently out of the threat they say ukraine and the west pose to his country. he wants russia to be portrayed as the victim, but he cannot portray russia's weak, and thatis cannot portray russia's weak, and that is why we saw him on television today in effect telling russians he has got everything under control stop it is no accident that, last night, mr putin announced moscow had testified an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of carrying nuclear warheads, which he says will make russia's enemies think twice. says will make russia's enemies think twice-— says will make russia's enemies think twice. , , a, , . ., think twice. jenny hill in moscow, thank you- _ efforts have begun in the region
think a reminder to that for vladimir putin, this was never simply about ukraine, it was about challenging the west and its security architecture. all of that leads us to a couple of really significant and unanswerable questions. what will vladimir putin do next, if his troops managed to take the donbas region? but perhaps more importantly, what will he do if they don't? more importantly, what will he do if the don't? , a, , . ., they don't? jenny hill in moscow, thank yon _ let's ta ke let's take a few minutes to reflect on this shift in the conflict. our security correspondent frank gardner is with me. you have been looking at russia's tactics and what we might see in coming weeks and how it will be different from what we have seen before, so give us your take on the big picture, firstly. before, so give us your take on the big picture. firstly-— big picture, firstly. sure, this has basically involved _ big picture, firstly. sure, this has basically involved into _ big picture, firstly. sure, this has basically involved into a - big picture, firstly. sure, this has basically involved into a war- big picture, firstly. sure, this has basically involved into a war on i big picture, firstly. sure, this has i basically involved into a war on two france so on the one side, you have got the strategic war. this is russia's aim, to fire long—range missiles, cruise and ballistic missiles, cruise and ballistic missiles, at targets all over

surrender, they would be treated with their rights under the geneva convention. but ukrainian fighters did not surrender, they carried on fighting and they say they will do so until the end.— so untilthe end. anna foster in k iv for so untilthe end. anna foster in kyiv for us- _ russia is saying this morning that 315 targets in ukraine were hit by artillery overnight and that some of its air strikes destroyed weapons depots. let's go live now to our correspondent jenny hill in moscow. obviously, we can't verify this number, the 315 targets the state news agency is claiming is being hit overnight, but it does look as though this is the intensification of the campaign by russia that we were told about?— of the campaign by russia that we were told about? yes. this has come from the russian _ were told about? yes. this has come from the russian ministry _ were told about? yes. this has come from the russian ministry of - from the russian ministry of defence. they say 315 targets were struck overnight across the country. but when you look at the details, we are talking about things like
russia is reported to have warned the united states of unpredictable consequences if washington and its nato allies continue to arm ukraine. the washington post says it's seen a diplomatic note in which moscow complains the deployment of the most sensitive weapons systems is fuelling the conflict. we asked our correspondent jenny hill in moscow whether she could confirm the report. there's nothing i can confirm for you but it's certainly true that moscow is very unhappy about the amount of weapons being supplied by the west to ukraine. i've been watching some state television talk shows today and presenters and pundits there are raging about that particular issue. it's also worth pointing out ukraine of course is cast as the aggressor in this conflict here in moscow by putin who insists he has only gone into ukraine to defend russian speakers there and against ukraine's
fears sinking could have rattled russia and may mean even more aggression. russia is reported to have warned the united states of unpredictable consequences if washington and its nato allies continue to arm ukraine. the washington post says it's seen a diplomatic note in which moscow complains that the deployment of the most sensitive weapons systems is fuelling the conflict. we asked our correspondent jenny hill in moscow whether she could confirm the report. there is nothing there that i can confirm for you from here, i'm afraid, but it is certainly true that moscow is very unhappy about the amount of weapons being supplied by the west to ukraine and i have been watching some state television talk shows today and presenters and pundits there are raging about that particular issue and i think it's also worth pointing out that ukraine, of course, is cast as the aggressor in this conflict here in moscow by vladimir putin, who insists
