according to tass and other media reports on the 15th, kremlin spokesman peskov said in an interview that although russian experts have discussed some tough options, russian president putin is always cautious in choosing how to respond to western actions.

when asked whether possible responses to "aggressive actions" such as the west's provision of long-range missiles to ukraine should now be discussed at the official level in russia, peskov said, "we have enough very capable experts who are very actively discussing this topic. i think that this is enough so far."

the report went on to say that peskov cited a recent interview with sergey karaganov, honorary chairman of the presidium of the russian foreign and defense policy committee, as an example, saying that karaganov put forward his "known route", which is to deter russia's possible enemies with a "preventive nuclear strike."

"we have had enough similar discussions, although the president is always cautious in this regard," peskov said.

recently, some countries such as the united states and the united kingdom have considered allowing ukraine to use foreign-aided weapons to strike targets deep inside russia from a distance, which has attracted public attention. according to xinhua news agency, russian president vladimir putin warned on september 12 that this move by the west was a "concept substitution" and that the essence of the problem was not whether to lift the ban, but whether nato countries "directly participated" in the russian-ukrainian conflict. reuters said that this was putin's strongest statement so far on nato's lifting of restrictions on ukraine's use of foreign-aided weapons. putin did not elaborate on what countermeasures russia might take. he previously mentioned that russia's options include providing russian-made weapons to western hostile countries to strike western overseas targets, and deploying conventional missiles with a range that can strike the united states and its european allies.
