Ukraine conflict becoming global – Putin

 

Moscow has long warned about the consequences if Kiev used US and UK long-range missiles

 

Russian President Vladimir Putin has confirmed that long-range missiles supplied to Ukraine by the US and the UK have been used against targets within the internationally-recognized territory of Russia.

 

A volley of six US-made ATACMS rockets was launched at Bryansk Region on Tuesday, while a number of British-made Storm Shadow missiles were fired at Kursk Region on Wednesday, the president said.

 

“From that moment, the Ukraine conflict previously provoked by the West acquired elements of a global nature, just as we warned more than once,” Putin said on Thursday, in a televised address to the nation.

 

The US and its NATO allies have previously stated they would allow Kiev to use their weapons, Putin said, noting again that such attacks could not take place without the participation of Western military personnel.

 

The attack on the munitions depot in Bryansk was intercepted by air defenses, causing no casualties and only minor property damage. The second strike, on a military command post in Kursk, resulted in deaths and injuries among the security and support personnel, Putin said. However, the command staff was unharmed and continued to manage the expulsion of Ukrainian invaders from that region of Russia, he added.

 

In response to these attacks, Russia struck a Ukrainian military-industrial site in Dnepropetrovsk using a new, non-nuclear hypersonic missile dubbed ‘Oresshnik’ (Hazel), Putin revealed.

 

The use of Western-supplied missiles is not going to change the situation on the ground, where Russian forces are advancing all along the front line and intend to achieve all their objectives, the president concluded.

Putin warns of retaliation against countries providing weapons to strike Russia

 

Moscow will respond decisively and in kind to any aggression, the president has said

 

Moscow reserves the right to strike the military facilities of countries that allow their weapons to be used against Russian territory, President Vladimir Putin has said.

 

The head of state gave a public address on Thursday, promising a decisive response to any aggression.

 

“We will determine the targets during further tests of our newest missile systems based on the threats to the security of the Russian Federation,” Putin stated.

 

The president continued: “We believe that we have the right to use our weapons against the military facilities of those countries that allow their weapons to be used against our facilities.”

 

According to Putin, the United States has ravaged the international security system, raising the risk of a global conflict.

 

The Russian president stressed that Moscow has always favored a peaceful resolution and is ready to resolve all contentious issues.

 

“But we are also ready for any development. Do not doubt it, there will always be a response,” he said.

 

The Ukrainian military has fired British-made Storm Shadow missiles and US-made HIMARS at targets located in Russia’s Bryansk and Kursk Regions, he specified.

 

Multiple media outlets, including Bloomberg, the BBC, and The Guardian, reported on Wednesday that Ukraine had used Storm Shadow missiles to attack Kursk Region this week. Moscow’s Defense Ministry has said that ATACMS missiles have already been used in an attack on Bryansk Region. Neither the UK nor the US have officially commented on the reports.

 

This week, Putin ordered the enactment of the country’s new nuclear doctrine, which says that an attack on Russia by a non-nuclear power backed by a nuclear one should be considered a joint attack by both.
