The West has no “wonder weapons” that could change the conflict’s outcome, Maria Zakharova has said
Ukraine’s use of Western-supplied weapons to strike inside Russia will mean the direct entry of the US and its allies into the conflict with Moscow, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said. Russia’s response will be appropriate and tangible, she added.
On Sunday, the New York Times reported that US President Joe Biden had given Ukraine permission to use ATACMS missiles against Russian territory. However, the White House has made no official statements.
When asked about the reports on Monday, Zakharova noted that they have not been confirmed by Washington.
“The use of long-range missiles by Kiev to attack our territory would mean the direct participation of the US and its satellites in military operations against Russia, as well as a radical change in the essence and nature of the conflict,” Zakharova told reporters, reiterating what Russian President Vladimir Putin said in September.
