Earlier in September during Russian Security Council’s permanent meeting, Vladimir Putin proposed to discuss updating the foundations of Russia’s state policy in the field of nuclear deterrence.
Vladimir Putin expressed hope that Western governments heard his warnings against striking deep into Russia.
“They did not report to me, but, I hope, they heard [my warning],” Putin said in an interview with Russian journalist Pavel Zarubin.
Ukraine cannot independently use long-range weapons; this can only be done by specialists from NATO countries, which is why the issue is not about granting permission to Kiev to use such weapons against Russia, stated Russian President Vladimir Putin.
