On a global level, Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned the United States that if Washington starts supplying Ukraine with long-range missiles, Moscow would attack new targets, according to media reports.
In a TV interview, Putin said that supplying new weapons to Ukraine was only aimed at “delaying the armed conflict for as long as possible,” CNN reported, citing the TASS news agency.
In the case of deliveries of long-range missiles to Kyiv, Russia will draw “reasonable conclusions” and attack those “facilities” it has not yet attacked, he said.
