Putin responds to use of western arms against Russia

 Newsmax:

President Vladimir Putin warned Germany on Wednesday that the use of its weapons by Ukraine to strike targets inside Russia would mark a “dangerous step,” and he said Moscow could in turn provide long-range weapons to others to strike Western targets.

Such action by the West will further undermine international security and could lead to “very serious problems.” he said.

“That would mark their direct involvement in the war against the Russian Federation, and we reserve the right to act the same way,” Putin added.

Because using such Western weapons for striking Russian territory involves military personnel of the respective countries controlling the missiles and selecting targets, Putin said, Moscow could take “asymmetrical” steps. That could include giving such weapons to others to target facilities of respective countries elsewhere in the world, he added.

The West has been providing weapons to Ukraine which has been under attack by Russia.  The Russian aggression against Ukraine is what created the threat and it could trigger war between Russia and NATO countries.
