If the Restrictions on Weapon Use are Lifted, It Will Mean a NATO-Russia War: Nebenzya

NATO countries will directly engage in war against Russia if they agree to allow Ukrainian forces to strike deep into Russian territory with long-range weapons. This statement was made by Vasily Nebenzya, Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN.

“If a decision to lift the restrictions is indeed adopted, it will mean that from that moment on, NATO countries are starting a direct war against Russia,” the diplomat stated, stressing that “Western countries will not be able to evade responsibility and shift the blame onto Kyiv.”

According to him, if the West permits Ukraine to use long-range weapons to target Russian territory, it will fundamentally change Moscow's relations with those countries.
