If NATO lifts restrictions on weapons provided to Ukraine, it will be directly involved in the conflict, Maria Zakharova has said
Western nations βcontinue to play with fire,βRussian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told a news briefing on Wednesday. She was commenting on reported attempts by London and Paris to convince Washington to allow Kiev to fire Western-supplied missiles deep into Russia.
Last week, The Telegraph reported that the UK and France were seeking US permission to greenlight strikes involving Storm Shadow/Scalp cruise missiles before President-elect Donald Trumpβs January inauguration.
βIf the Kiev regime gets permission for the aforementioned strikes, we will treat it as NATO de-facto entering a direct conflict with Russia,β Zakharova said. βA response to the use of Western long-range weapons against the territory of our nation would be imminent and devastating.β
