Russia has sent a strong warning to the Western countries, advising them not to give Ukraine the ability to use missiles supplied by the West to launch strikes deeper into Russian territory. The warning follows the biggest foreign invasion on Russian territory since World War II, which took place on August 6th, when Ukraine launched a major assault on the Kursk area of Russia. The Russian government, led by President Vladimir Putin, has vowed a “worthy response” to the incursion. This rhetoric underscores the gravity with which Moscow views the potential expansion of the conflict. Putin has consistently emphasized the risk of a larger war involving the world’s leading nuclear powers, although he maintains that Russia does not seek a direct confrontation with NATO.
