Recently, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned in an interview with Russian TV media that if the West provides Ukraine with missiles with a longer range, Russia will make corresponding conclusions and strike targets that have not been hit before.
In an interview broadcast by the "Russia 1" TV station on the 5th, Putin, when commenting on the US supply of multiple rocket launcher systems to Ukraine, said that all the "trouble" caused by the West's supply of weapons to Ukraine is for one purpose, that is, to delay as much as possible. long armed conflict.
He explained that the Ukrainian Armed Forces already have similar weapons, such as Soviet-made and Russian-made multiple rocket launcher systems such as "Hail", "Tornado" and "Hurricane".
The provision of such weapons by Western countries to Ukraine is only to supplement the loss of Ukrainian military equipment and will not have a substantial impact on the situation.
Putin said the range does not depend on the rocket launch system itself, but on the missiles used.
Russia has learned that the United States will provide Ukraine with missiles with a range of 45 to 70 kilometers.
He emphasized that if the West provides Ukrainian authorities with longer-range missiles, Russia will draw a corresponding conclusion and use lethal weapons to strike targets that have not been hit before.
