Russia is once again warning the United States and its Western allies that Moscow will view the use of long-range missiles by Ukraine as “direct involvement” by the West. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has reacted to a likely change in the “essence of the conflict” as reports surface that U.S. President Joe Biden has authorized Kiev to use American-supplied ATACMS missiles to target sites inside Moscow’s pre-2014 borders.
Russia has previously warned the West of this, and it is one of the last red lines that Ukraine and its allies have yet to cross.
Russian President Vladimir Putin’s earlier warnings regarding Western nations potentially providing Ukraine with long-range weapons are still in effect. In September, Putin stated that any move to arm Kiev with such capabilities would force Moscow to make “appropriate decisions based on the threats presented to us.”
He suggested that such actions would represent a shift in whether “NATO countries are directly involved in the military conflict.” -RT
Russia Warns Of Red Lines Being Crossed Again
Because Russia has yet to retaliate (as it vowed to) against the West for its continual disregard of those “red lines,” the West has become emboldened to push this conflict to the brink of World War 3. Maria Zakharova, the spokeswoman for the ministry, said any such move would “radically change the essence and nature of the conflict.”
Zakharova further emphasized: “Kyiv’s use of long-range missiles to attack our territory will mean the direct participation of the United States and its satellites in hostilities against Russia. In this case, Russia’s response will be adequate and tangible.”
Zakharova also said that the U.S. has yet to confirm that it will allow Ukraine to use long-range missiles to strike Russian territory.
