President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that Moscow would knock out the teeth of any power that tried to take a chunk of Russia s territory. The Russian leader, in televised remarks during a virtual meeting with senior officials, cited what he said were foreign remarks questioning Russia s control of energyrich Siberia. A similar comment has been attributed in Russia to a former U. S. secretary of state, Madeleine Albright, although she has denied making it.
