Putin warns West not to let Ukraine use its missiles to hit Russia
NATO countries risk a global war if they help Ukraine strike Russia at home, Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday.Small European countries with dense populations need to know"what they are playing with", Putin said.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg told The Economist that alliance members should let Ukraine strike deep into Russia with Western weapons, a view supported by some NATO members but not by the United States. "This is a factor that they should keep in mind before talking about striking deep into Russian territory," Putin said.Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine touched off the worst breakdown in relations with the West for 60 years, and the crisis is escalating into what diplomats say is its most dangerous phase to date.
Western leaders and Ukraine have played down Russia's warnings about the risk of a broader war involving Russia, the world's biggest nuclear power, and NATO, the world's most powerful military alliance led by the United States.
