Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia, has warned that allowing Ukraine to use long-range missiles against Russia would be considered a declaration of war.

Tarz Press - Putin likely made these remarks in response to comments by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken. Blinken, during a joint press conference with his British counterpart in Kyiv on Wednesday, announced that President Joe Biden would consult with allies regarding the authorization for Ukraine to use long-range weapons. Both ministers stated that the delivery of Iranian-made ballistic missiles to Russia could change the dynamics of the war.

Russian state media reported on Friday, citing President Vladimir Putin, that in response to these statements, he said if the West grants Ukraine permission to use long-range missiles against Russian territory, it would undoubtedly mean NATO's direct involvement in the war against Russia.
