• The Russian presidential spokesman stated that he is confident the West understood Vladimir Putin's message.
• Putin's speech was claiming the firing of a new type of missile against Ukraine.
• Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky referred to Putin as a 'crazy neighbor'.
• This cryptic shadow theater was carefully staged to increase pressure on Ukraine's Western allies.
• Shortly afterwards it was confirmed that Russia had indeed fired an intercontinental ballistic missile, which is even graver than the strike itself.
• The Quai d'Orsay confirmed an extraordinary meeting of the NATO council on Tuesday.
• The US Secretary of State will attend a G7 meeting in Italy to prepare for the NATO meeting.

Conclusion: Behind the nuclear threats, victorious postures, and hyperbolically dubbed missiles, two world visions are clashing in Eastern Europe, and there can be no retreat for the camp of solidarity and international law.
