Putin: NATO's Approval of Use of Long-Range Missiles by Ukraine Will Mean It is at War With Russia
Russian officials have warned repeatedly about the risks of NATO members' steps up the 'escalation ladder' in Ukraine, from the delivery of increasingly deadly weapons systems to Kiev to the feigning of ignorance of Russia's security 'red lines'. Allowing Kiev to use Western weapons system to strike Russian territory will effectively mean NATO's direct participation in a conflict against Russia, President Vladimir Putin has said. "An attempt to substitute concepts is being made, because we are not talking about 'authorizing' or 'prohibiting' the Kiev regime from striking Russian territory. It already does so with the help of drones and other means. But when we're talking about the use of Western-made long-range precision weapons, it is a different matter entirely," Putin said in an interview with Russian television on Thursday.
