Putin threatens war if Ukraine is allowed to use long-range weapons from the West
Russian President Vladimir Putin threatens NATO with war if Ukraine is allowed to use long-range weapons from the West against targets inside Russia. This is reported by AFP.
- If they make that decision, it means nothing less than that the NATO countries, the USA and the European countries are directly involved in the war in Ukraine. That would mean their direct participation, and that would of course change the core of the conflict significantly, Putin said on Russian state television on Thursday, according to Reuters.
- That would mean that NATO, the USA and the European countries are at war with Russia.
Putin has previously spoken of arming the West's enemies with Russian weapons for attacks abroad. In June, he spoke of deploying robots within range of the United States and allies in Europe.
