US Decision on Ukraine’s Use of Long-Range Missiles

Russia’s Warning: “NATO Will Be a Direct Party”
Russian ambassador to the United Nations Vassili Nebenzia recalled Putin’s warning that lifting restrictions on Ukraine’s use of Western long-range missiles would mean NATO states would be at war directly against Russia.
“If the decision to lift the restrictions is actually taken, it will mean that from that moment NATO states will be at war directly against Russia. In this case, as you well understand, we will have to make the appropriate decisions with all the consequences that the Western aggressors will have to bear.”
International Reactions and Concerns
The international community remains concerned over the escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine, with the United States and its allies considering the implications of Ukraine’s use of long-range missiles.
