Vladimir Putin warns of the consequences of the Western world supplying Ukraine with long-range weapons. 

 

If the weapons are aimed at Russian territory, it will lead to "unpleasant scenarios", the Kremlin has previously claimed. 

 

- The arms deliveries only aim to prolong the conflict as long as possible, says Vladimir Putin. 

 

Russian President Vladimir Putin warns the Western world after the United States decided to send advanced long-range missile systems to Ukraine, Reuters reports. 

 

Putin, on the one hand, claims that the weapons systems do not change anything "in practice" but that Russia, on the other hand, must take action if the West continues to provide Ukraine with long-range weapons. 

 

"Hassle about arms deliveries" 

 

Putin further states that "all the fuss about arms deliveries has only one goal, to drag out the armed conflict as long as possible". - 

 

Recently, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated during a press conference in Saudi Arabia that arms deliveries increase the risk that a "third country" could be drawn into the war.(dras in i kriget.)
