Anonymous, the notorious hacking collective, has released an eerie personal message to Vladimir Putin, addressing the president of Russia directly and closing with some chilling threats of their own.

In it, they express "impatience" with the Russian president, claiming that he has ignored previous demands made to him and that they would be "dedicating a special operation just for him" -- calling it a "present of sorts."

In the four-minute video, the avatar for the hacking collective refers to the recent leak of the Russian Ministry of Defense website's key information, including emails and passwords of personnel at the ministry as well as other attacks against the Russian government carried out in recent years. The collective then calls on Putin to resign, calling his threats to Finland and Sweden "shameful."

"You have decided to create a much larger battle." They say in closing, adding "We will not forgive the lies... and will not forget the lives that have been lost."
