CCIP's description quite covers what I have heard from "my" russians on Putin and Russia.
Regarding the retargeting of Europe, I suppose the Media got it wrong insofar as Putin did not mean strategic weapons on european targets, but rather specially targeting the missile defence sites in Poland and the CR.
The statement was made in connection with the successful test firing of the "Iskander" theater ballistic missile, which would actually give Russia the conventional precision strike capability and range to do just that.
