🇷🇺 The Russian Foreign Ministry reminded about Putin's words regarding Russia's position on Western long-range missile strikes deep into Russia.

💬 In September of this year, the President of Russia noted that such a decision by the West would mean direct involvement of NATO countries in the Ukrainian conflict, and consequently, a confrontation with Russia. Moscow will take immediate retaliatory measures against any threats that may come from these countries.

"This will significantly change the very essence and nature of the conflict. It will mean that NATO countries, the USA, and European countries are at war with Russia. If that is the case, then, considering the changes in the essence of this conflict, we will make appropriate decisions based on the threats that will be posed to us," Vladimir Putin stated at that time.
