The security of Russia will be ensured, he stressed, speaking at the forum "Territory of Meanings".

In June, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Russia is likely to have a means of dealing with hypersonic weapons when other leading countries in the world receive similar weapons.

Then the head of state emphasized that by now no one can counteract hypersonic missiles.
