on september 11, local time, the british newspaper the guardian quoted a british government source as saying that the west has decided to allow ukraine to use storm shadow cruise missiles to attack the russian mainland. russian deputy foreign minister sergei ryabkov said on the 11th that washington's statement about considering allowing kiev to use western weapons to strike deep into russian territory would bring more risks to the united states itself.
according to reports, us president biden said earlier that he was considering allowing ukraine to use long-range weapons to strike deep into russia's territory.
"this is part of psychological warfare, which in turn is part of hybrid warfare," ryabkov told reporters.
ryabkov believes that such statements are an attempt to psychologically influence russia and hinder it from achieving its goals in ukraine.
“like other escalatory signals and actions we have observed, this announcement does not change our course but rather increases risks and dangers for the united states itself and its allies, customers, and wards,” he said.
he noted that if the united states wants to strengthen its own security, it should stop such "provocative behavior", stop providing weapons, and stop instigating kiev to take measures that could further escalate the conflict.
russian president vladimir putin has previously said that nato representatives should think clearly about "what they are playing at" when talking about plans to allow kiev to use western-supplied missile systems to strike targets deep inside russia.
