Russia Has the Right to Use Force Against Countries Assisting Ukraine

Russia believes it has the right to use military force against the military facilities of countries that allow Ukraine to strike deep into Russia with its weapons. This was stated by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, during a press briefing.

Earlier, the Associated Press reported, citing sources, that the United States is reviewing a list of weapons requested for transfer to Ukraine. This list includes air defense systems such as the Patriot and Advanced Precision Kill Weapon Systems, long-range ATACMS missiles, short and medium-range surface-to-air missiles known as NASAM, as well as various artillery systems.

In turn, Deputy Head of the Information Policy Department of the Russian Academy of Missile and Artillery Sciences, Konstantin Sivkov, stated that Russia would be able to repel the attack using long-range Tomahawk cruise missiles if they are transferred to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The expert noted an important detail regarding Trump's threat to impose tariffs in 50 days.
