RDmitry Medvedev, Russia's Security Council deputy chairman, has issued a stern warning that Western-supplied long-range missile strikes into Russian territory could be considered a NATO attack on Russia, potentially triggering retaliatory measures - including nuclear weapons. This comes hot on the heels of discussions between the U.S. and UK about allowing Ukraine to use these missiles, which Moscow views as a significant escalation.
Medvedev's statement is a clear indication of Russia's growing concerns about the conflict in Ukraine and the involvement of Western nations. Moscow has already cautioned that it will respond appropriately if Ukraine deploys Western-supplied long-range missiles against Russian territory ¹. The situation is increasingly tense, with Russia's foreign ministry stating that such actions would have severe consequences.
*Key Points to Consider:*
- *Escalation Fears*: Moscow views Western involvement as a serious escalation of the conflict.
- *Retaliation
