Russian territory under attack from Western weapons - Putin warns

Russian President Vladimir Putin warned of serious consequences if Western countries allowed Ukraine to use their weapons to strike Russia. "This constant escalation can lead to serious consequences," Putin said.
"In Europe, especially in small countries, they should be aware of what they are playing with," he added.
The Russian leader said leaders should bear in mind the "small territory" and "dense population" of many European countries.
"And this factor, which they should keep in mind before they talk about striking deep into Russian territory, is a serious thing." He said that while Ukraine would carry out the strikes, the responsibility for them would lie with Western suppliers of the weapons. "They want a global conflict," he added.
But although warning of Putin, the AFP agency citing numerous Western sources said that ukraine has used Western weapons to deliver strike on Russian territory more than once, According to the agency, a strike was delivered west of Krasnodar. It did not specify however which facility was targeted. The agency asked retired French Colonel Michel Goya to comment on the use of Western weapons against targets in Russian territory and he said that "history shows that military assistance of one country to another has never led to a conflict." "Moscow has been saying that Crimea is inviolable. Ukrainians struck it with American weapons and nothing happened," he said.
At present, calls are mounting among Western nations to allow attacks on Russian territory using weapons that they have sent the Ukrainian military, an issue that is taking on greater urgency as Russia builds up troops on the border in preparation for a possible offensive, according to officials in Ukraine. Recently, the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, made up of lawmakers from countries belonging to the military alliance, adopted a declaration urging NATO members to lift a ban on firing Western weapons into Russia. That came after similar calls by NATO’s top official, Jens Stoltenberg, and government ministers in Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Sweden.
