Russia Warns US Involvement In Ukraine Conflict

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zakharova attends a news conference in Moscow

Russia's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova issued a warning on Monday regarding Ukraine's potential use of long-range missiles to target locations within Russia. According to state media TASS, Zakharova stated that such actions would signify the direct participation of the United States and its allies in the conflict against Russia.

Zakharova emphasized that if Kyiv were to employ long-range missiles in attacks on Russian territory, it would result in a significant shift in the nature of the conflict. She indicated that Russia's response to such actions would be both appropriate and substantial.

This recent statement by Zakharova aligns with previous remarks made by Russian President Vladimir Putin during the St. Petersburg United Cultures Forum in September. Putin had responded to inquiries about the possibility of the US authorizing Ukraine to utilize American weaponry for strikes deep inside Russia.
