since russia launched a special military operation against ukraine in february 2022, the united states has taken a number of measures, including providing weapons to ukraine, which has caused dissatisfaction on the russian side. according to russian media such as ria novosti on the 4th of this month, russian foreign minister lavrov was interviewed by russian reporters and was asked about the united states' provision of weapons to ukraine. he warned the united states not to joke with russia's red line.

recently, as the ukrainian army launched an offensive against russian territory, whether western countries will relax restrictions on the use of weapons provided by the ukrainian army has aroused attention. according to ria novosti and other media reports, russian president vladimir putin said on the 12th of this month that the direct involvement of nato, the united states and european countries in the russia-ukraine conflict will completely change the nature of the conflict, which "will mean going to war with russia" and russia will "make appropriate decisions" based on the threats it faces. reuters said that this is putin's "toughest statement" so far on the topic of nato lifting restrictions on ukraine's use of foreign-aided long-range weapons. peskov said on the 13th, "we have no doubt that president putin's statement has been conveyed to the recipient." peskov also said, "president putin's statement is very important, very clear and unambiguous. don't have any double interpretation of it."
