Russia: U.S. could face FATAL CONSEQUENCES for allowing Ukraine to use American weapons to strike Russian targets

Moscow has warned Washington of “fatal consequences” for allowing Ukraine to use American weapons against targets on Russian soil.

“I would like to warn American leaders against miscalculations that could have fatal consequences,” said Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov as reported by the state news agency RIA Novosti. “For unknown reasons, they underestimate the seriousness of the rebuff they may receive.”

He pointed to a “very significant warning” recently issued by Russian President Vladimir Putin, urging Washington to take it “with the utmost seriousness.” Ryabkov also exhorted American officials to “spend some of their time – which they spend on some kind of video games, judging by the lightness of their approach – on studying what was said in detail by Putin.”

The Russian leader’s warning reportedly centered on Washington permitting Kyiv to use U.S. made weapons to strike Russian targets, which Ryabkov echoed. “Constant escalation can lead to serious consequences,” remarked Putin, insinuating the possibility of nuclear war. He continued that European countries with “small territory and dense populations” especially careful about provoking Russia.

“If these serious consequences occur in Europe, how will the U.S. behave, bearing in mind our parity in the field of strategic weapons? It’s hard to say. Do they want a global conflict?”

According to Ryabkov, Ukrainian forces have attacked Russian early-warning radar systems. The deputy foreign minister stressed that retaliation from Moscow could be “asymmetrical.”

“This is not the first time that the regime in Kyiv has tried to disrupt the normal functioning of important parts of our military organization, in particular those related to the strategic sphere. These intentions will be stopped by us, [and] responses may be asymmetrical.”

West gives Ukraine the go signal to strike Russian targets

Ryabkov’s warning was a response to statements from American officials that U.S. President Joe Biden reportedly permitted Ukraine to hit targets in Russia with U.S. weapons, albeit under certain situations. In particular, Ukrainian forces were cleared to hit positions in Russia – launching devastating artillery and missile attacks against the border city of Kharkiv.

According to a U.S. official, Biden “recently directed his team to ensure that Ukraine can use U.S. weapons for counter-fire purposes in Kharkiv so Ukraine can hit back at Russian forces hitting them or preparing to hit them.” They nevertheless added that Washington’s policy of prohibiting long-range strikes inside Russia “has not changed.”

Some European governments also gave similar permissions to Ukraine, including Germany. Other countries such as the Netherlands, Finland and Poland meanwhile expressed support for allowing Ukraine to defend itself against attacks launched from Russian territory. Even Jens Stoltenberg, secretary-general of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, backed Kyiv’s move to defend itself against Russia.

Kyiv was quick to utilize this opportunity, firing U.S. artillery at Russian positions. Military bloggers and officials from the Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed that Ukraine had fired a U.S.-made M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) at targets in Belgorod, a Russian city about 25 miles north of the Ukrainian border. Ukrainian media also confirmed the use of the HIMARS system, but clarified that the target was a Russian S-300/400 air defense system.

According to the governor of the Belgorod region, two city officials were killed in the bombardment. Three other city officials were injured, along with six civilians.
