The Kremlin has warned the US and UK that there will be an 'appropriate response' should they permit long-range attacks by Ukraine deep within Russian territory. President Biden and Secretary of State Blinken have suggested lifting restrictions on Ukrainian forces utilizing supplied long-range weapons, heightening tensions amid allegations that Iran has sent missiles to Russia, which Russia denies vehemently as 'baseless.' This situation illustrates the intricate web of military and diplomatic relations shaping the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin's spokesperson, stated, 'It looks like Washington and London have already made the decision to allow Ukrainian forces to use the long-range missiles on Russia.' He claimed that this reflects a further escalation in the West's involvement, asserting that it confirms the justification for their military operations and that the 'collective West' has made a significant decision in support of Ukraine's military efforts.
Peskov dismissed claims of Iranian missile supplies to Russia, labeling them as 'groundless'. He emphasized Russia's ongoing collaboration with several aligned countries, indicating a robust international partnership in defense matters, thereby suggesting that Western narratives around arms supplies are aimed at misrepresentation rather than fact.
In the context of escalating military cooperation between the US and Ukraine, with advanced systems like Army Tactical Missile Systems already supplied, Peskov articulated concerns regarding the implications of further weapon supplies, expressing that the Kremlin would continue to respond accordingly to actions perceived as aggressive from the West.
