What plan does Vladimir Putin have? The Russian president makes the immediate decision

Russian President Vladimir Putin may address his nation later today, according to Russian media reports.

It is important to note that this does not come from Russian state media, but from the independent newspaper Readovka, according to Sky.

The website says Putin may change the status of the "special military operation", known to most of the world as the invasion of Ukraine.

In an earlier speech, Putin accused the West of engaging in "nuclear blackmail".

He said he was not bluffing and would use all available means if Russian territory was threatened.
