Russia on Saturday sent out a chilling warning that individuals and foreign countries that have attacked it and its nationals following the invasion of Ukraine will be held responsible for their actions.

Citing increased levels of “Russophobia abroad”, Moscow said it has so far documented several incidents in which attacks were aided by governments of foreign countries to target Russian nationals and products.
