Moscow warns West of escalation after Ukraine told it can hit Russia, Medvedev cautions West not to underestimate Russia

Russia has accused Nato and the US of "provoking a new level of tension" after the US and Germany became the latest allies to let Ukraine's military to use Western-supplied weapons to strike targets inside Russia.

A Berlin spokesman said Germany was convinced Ukraine had the right to defend itself from Russia, especially from cross-border attacks on its second largest city Kharkiv.

US officials said American-supplied weapons could be used to counter Russian fire near the Kharkiv region, either where Russian forces were "hitting them or preparing to hit them".

 Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council Dmitry Medvedev says Western countries may be making a "fatal mistake" in assuming that Russia will never use tactical nuclear weapons (TNW).

"Just a few years ago, they [the West, NATO countries] were saying that Russia would not engage in an open military conflict with the Bandera regime in order not to quarrel with the West. They miscalculated. There is a war underway," Medvedev wrote on his Telegram channel.

According to him, "they may also be miscalculating with the [possible] use of TNWs."

"However, this would be a fatal mistake. After all, as the Russian president justly pointed out, European countries have a very high population density. And for those enemy countries whose lands are beyond the TNW coverage zone, there is strategic potential," he added.

"No matter how much NATO’s retired old farts babble that Russia will never use non-strategic nuclear weapons against former Ukraine and what’s more, against individual NATO countries, reality is much harsher than their frivolous musings," Medvedev noted.

Medvedev believes it is possible that the conflict between Russia and the West has already entered its final stage.

"Unfortunately, this is neither intimidation nor a nuclear bluff. The current military conflict with the West is developing according to the worst-case scenario," he said.

According to him, there is a constant escalation around the use of NATO weapons.

"Therefore, today no one can exclude the possibility of the conflict shifting to its final stage," Medvedev added.

  2. Le feu vert de Washington pour utiliser des armes américaines contre le territoire russe n'affecte en rien le déroulement de l'opération militaire spéciale dans le Donbass, mais Washington se verra exposer à des menaces, a déclaré à Sputnik Andreï Kartapolov, chef du Comité de défense de la Douma (chambre basse du parlement russe).
    "Pour eux, des menaces apparaîtront. Ils font monter le degré d'escalade, soit, nous réagirons. Notre réponse sera asymétrique, mais sensible" a-t-il déclaré.

  4. Budapest will only support NATO’s proposal to give Ukraine $40 bln in annual military aid if the fighting leaks into a member country in Europe, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said.

    "The NATO leadership proposed collecting annually 16 trln forints ($40 bln)," as they proceed from the fact that the Ukraine conflict will drag on, Szijjarto told Hungarian reporters following an informal meeting of the North Atlantic Council at the level of foreign ministers in Prague. "Of course, I noted that Hungary will only make a financial contribution if, under the Washington treaty, there is a war in Europe," he said at a press briefing broadcast by M1 television.

    As nobody is threatening NATO now, Hungary disagrees with the alliance’s position here, he underscored.

    1. В НАТО предложили выделять Киеву по 40 миллиардов евро в год, это противоречит правилам альянса, поскольку Украина туда не входит, заявил министр иностранных дел и внешнеэкономических связей Венгрии Петер Сийярто.
      "Руководство НАТО работает над долгосрочными финансовыми обязательствами. Сейчас предложение заключается в том, чтобы в год собирать по 16 тысяч миллиардов форинтов (около 41 миллиарда евро - ред.). В качестве причины называется то, что для достижения мира необходимо принять на себя долгосрочные военные обязательства. Остальные думают, что Россия, увидев, что Европа взяла на себя долгосрочные обязательства, закончит войну", - сказал Сийярто после заседания глав МИД стран НАТО в Праге, выступление транслировал телеканал М1.

  9. Всё высокоточное западное летальное оружие, которое поступает сегодня на территорию Украины, управляется инструкторами из стран НАТО.

    В этом не сомневается депутат Госдумы Виктор Водолацкий. В разговоре с RT он подчеркнул: ВСУ не доверяют системы слежения, наведения и пуска, только лишь обслуживание заряжающего устройства:

    «Плюс идёт наведение через космос. Вся военная космическая группировка НАТО сегодня работает на эти цели. Плюс Starlink. Маск хоть и говорит, что он против войны, но вся его система тоже сегодня работает на наёмников, которые воюют на территории Украины».

  10. Оружие, которым США разрешат Украине бить по территории России, включает в себя РСЗО HIMARS, ракетные системы GMLRS и артиллерию

    Об этом пишет The Wall Street Journal со ссылкой на американских чиновников. По данным издания, это оружие ВСУ смогут использовать для «ограниченных ударов» по командным пунктам, складам оружия и другим объектам на российской территории, которые армия России использует для наступления на харьковском направлении.

    При этом подобное решение не дает Украине разрешения на использование ракет большой дальности ATACMS для ударов по России — за исключением Крыма, следует из статьи.

    Как отмечает WSJ, таким образом администрация Байдена стремится укрепить обороноспособность Украины и одновременно снизить риск перерастания конфликта в прямое столкновение между США и Россией

    1. The Wall Street Journal : США позволят Украине бить по РФ при помощи РСЗО Himars, ракетных систем GMLRS и артиллерии.

      Об этом газете сообщили источники в правительстве. В публикации не упоминается, что ВСУ не смогут сами управлять такого рода оружием без участия офицеров НАТО.

      Ранее зампред Совбеза России Дмитрий Медведев отметил , что атаки по своей территории Россия может расценивать как прямое участие НАТО в войне против РФ.

  11. Italian Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Antonio Tajani has reiterated that the weapons Rome sends Ukraine cannot be used for strikes against Russia, and the participation of Italian soldiers in this conflict is also unacceptable.

    "Italy has been, is and will continue to help Ukraine defend its independence, both with economic and military aid. But we will not send a single Italian soldier to fight in Ukraine, nor can our weapons be used outside Ukrainian territory, as our constitution does not allow it. We are not at war with Russia, we are only defending Ukraine's freedom," he said at a press briefing ahead of a meeting of NATO foreign ministers in Prague.

    1. The issue of using US weapons to deliver strikes on Russia’s territory was not discussed during the NATO ministerial meeting in Prague, Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said.

      "As far as I know, its use is confined to the [Russian] positions, where Kharkov is being shelled from. I don’t think that there is a US decision on the indiscriminate use of their weapons against targets in Russia’s territory," the ANSA news agency quoted him as saying after the meeting.

Смысл в том, что Украина должна иметь возможность защищаться. Если Россия, опасаясь, что ее объекты могут быть поражены на ее территории, перенесла бы их куда-то в другое место, то я думаю, что и выбор целей нужно будет туда перенаправить.
