The Russian president, Vladimir Putin, has warned that lifting long-range missile restrictions on Ukraine would mean that Nato countries would be at war with Russia.

Taking questions from reporters in Moscow, Putin said: ‘If this decision is made, it will mean nothing less than the direct participation of Nato countries, the United States, and European countries in the war in Ukraine.’ That would mean they were ‘fighting Russia’, he added.
Putin’s comments came as the US and UK were weighing lifting a block on Ukraine using their missiles to hit targets inside Russia amid fears of the war escalating

Russia is downwind from Ukraine, just saying.
There is a troll that says it wouldn’t be at war with anyone that gave his enemy ammunition’s … I think everybody here doesn’t believe that troll here ! Somehow I don’t believe that the troll believes what he said ! SLAVA UKRAINI ❤❤❤🇺🇦👍🏻👍🏻🇻🇳🇩🇪🇦🇩🇨🇳🇮🇱🇮🇱🇨🇿🇵🇰🇬🇧🇹🇷🇵🇱🇯🇵🇪🇷🇦🇬🏴🇺🇸🇨🇻🇫🇷🇰🇷🇨🇦🇰🇭🇪🇪⚛️☢️🇪🇺 !
Excellent move. All Russians watch your six. Doomsday is near.
And as always..poland waits for their buddy USA to respond 😂😂
cost of Missiles 1,000 US dollars each which is about 750,000 British pounds yet no money to pay indexed state pensions to UK pensioners in commonwealth countries
Putin has a red line in his menstrual pad.
And the military industrial complex grins…
If Putin attacks NATO, its over 30 Armies to 1 !
We know what you are doing, this whole fraudulent war, go on do it, you still will be ripped from power after you dont have long left either way
He’s done –
Is Ukraine now in war with CHAI-NAUGH?
Putin for World Leader!
This isn't much of a threat given Russia's performance thus far.
Putin🤡👈😂
Hey mr Putin.give it up .your mouth give your mouth a brake.
It's terrifying that figures like Starmer and Lammy are involved in decisions with such enormous consequences. The fact that we're even flirting with the idea of triggering World War Three shows how reckless and disconnected from reality some of these leaders are.
I’m bored of hearing this man rubbish it’s time to hold him to account for what he has done, and if that means military force, so be it!
😂😂😂😂😂
OH PLEASE!
He can’t even BEAT UKRAINE! 😂😂😂
To quote Kamala Harris…
“NATO would EAT HIM FOR LUNCH!
Double standard and he knows it.
So long as Starmer calls up his own voters to go off and fight for him
Even comments from India below where Putin is like an old friend
Never make a threat you aren’t prepared to back up by following through. We’re long passed taking this joker seriously. Tick tock putin……….watch out for the open windows.
Dems are walking us all into Armageddon! And why? Because Putin is a Christian White nationalist.
Bad play, Putin. If you don't want the western world involved, I suggest you don't try to intimidate us. Let's be clear here. Your one and only hope with this despicable invasion is that NATO doesn't respond militarily. You're an absolute joke compared to us.
They cut his speach again not to show the true
Notice how all the top comments are bot accounts.
PEACE with RUSSIA……………FOREVER !
No one person alone can fire nukes
Merry Ole England better start digging some deep holes lol.
He's been saying Russia's been fighting NATO for the last 2 years, LOL! They've paraded the destoryed/captured Leopard 2's, Bradleys, etc (all with their origin countries flags) in their main square now for 6 mos.
Bullies always think they can get their way by threats. However, in the event of a nuclear war, as Putin very well knows, there would be no more Moscow, no more Kremlin and no more Vladimir Putin.
Simple, don't start a conflict if you can't accept there will be repercussions coming your way too!!
So ukraine fighting against iran and north korea too?😂😂
Russia: You can't attack us with NATO weapons 😠
Also Russia: Uses Chinese, Iranian, and North Korean Drones and Missiles 😏
A N D T R O O P S ! 💂♂️🪖
Just shut up
This will be an escalation of the war. We need to ask, 'when will this war end?'
It is foolish to think either side can have victory.
So instead of more weapons, let's have more talks.
Our 'leaders' have already failed in my opinion
I don't think he gets to call the shots on whether he is at war with NATO or not but his friend Xi does.
Who would fight for this joke of a country.
But…is he allowed to say it's a "war"?
You are the Savior of Europe
I pray our leaders dont flinch at this. In fact, our leaders should step back at this point and let him negotiate with our Generals.
its a honest declaration of war. nato and usa shuld send troops to the borders and give the signal to ukrain and send everything into russia.
The Russian invasion in Ukraine was a reaction of crossing one of the many red lines NATO crossed before Russia reacted and the same could happen with the Nuclear reaction to the many red lines US led NATO keep crossing by saying Putin is always bluffing.
Putinx started a war he cannot finish. What a cry baby.
The desperation is showing, Putin is not getting much sleep.
WW3
Then get the F out of Ukraine!!
The dictator and war criminal Putin knows full well that Russia has no chance in a real war with NATO and days later NATO holds the victory parade on Red Square. The interview was not broadcast in Russia either. (??) He has annexed Crimea and declared it Russian territory. Ukraine has been shelling Crimea for a long time, so in Putin's logic it is Russian territory. And now, what's actually new – nothing. Russian people, help this lost creature and remove him from office.
