Putin Warns NATO of War Over Ukraine's Use of Long-Range Missiles

As Ukraine pushes for fewer restrictions on Western-supplied arms, US and UK leaders deliberate potential consequences.

  • President Vladimir Putin has stated that allowing Ukraine to use long-range weapons to strike inside Russia would mean NATO is at war with Russia.
  • Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has repeatedly called for the lifting of restrictions on Western-supplied long-range weapons to target Russian military infrastructure.
  • US President Joe Biden and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer are meeting in Washington, DC to discuss Ukraine's request amid concerns over escalating the conflict.
  • US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and British Foreign Secretary David Lammy visited Kyiv, announcing additional financial aid and hearing appeals for long-range weapon usage.
  • Concerns about escalation have delayed permission for Ukraine to use long-range missiles, with fears of potential Russian retaliation, including nuclear threats.
