Vladimir Putin has warned that Nato would be “at war” with Russia if the West gives Kyiv a green-light to use longer-range weapons to strike targets inside his country.
“This would in a significant way change the very nature of the conflict… It would mean that Nato countries are at war with Russia,” the Russian president told a state television reporter on Thursday afternoon.
The United States may allow Ukraine to use British and French missiles but not its own longer-range weapons inside Russia, according to two sources familiar with discussions that have taken place.
