Quote: "If Washington decides to supply Kyiv with missiles of a larger range, it will cross the red line and will become a party to the conflict. We are maintaining our right to defend our territories with all means available".
Background:
- In September, The Wall Street Journal reported that among the armament requested by Ukraine from the USA, there are ATACMS tactical missiles with a range of 300 kilometres. Earlier, Washington refused to provide Ukraine with this particular kind of weapon due to the risk of provoking Russia.
