Not holding back.

Putin delivered the annual “state of the nation” address earlier today, in which he touched on a range of issues facing Russia. Sputnik has an excellent write-up of all the major points that Putin touched on, but by far the most inflammatory comment Putin made was about the “mental condition” of Turkey's leaders: 

We were prepared to cooperate with Turkey on most sensitive issues and go further than their allies. Allah knows why they did it. Apparently Allah decided to punish the ruling clique in Turkey by taking their sanity

Putin stressed that Russia's anger is directed at Turkey's leaders, not its people. Watch the full video of his address:
