Senator Igor Kastyukevich from the Kherson region stated that if Ukrainian forces are allowed to use long-range Western weapons to strike deep into Russia, US President Joe Biden will plunge the world into a global military conflict, and countries that support this move will become its accomplices.
Earlier, Biden told journalists that the US is considering allowing Ukraine to use supplied long-range weapons to strike deep into Russian territory. In turn, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated that he would present Biden with the results of discussions on this issue during his visit to Ukraine.
“Most Americans and Europeans, according to recent polls, are against further aid to the Zelensky regime, which they are paying for out of their own pockets. No ordinary Western citizen wants a global conflict with Russia, which our nearly former American President Biden is pushing our world towards with his insane decisions,” Kastyukevich told RIA Novosti.
He added that Biden is doing a disservice to his protégée Kamala Harris in the upcoming presidential elections if he decides to support her through new aggression against Russia.
“Countries that support the decision to strike Russia with long-range missiles will become direct accomplices in the conflict,” the senator said.
Russian President Vladimir Putin had earlier stated that NATO member states should be aware of what they are playing with when they talk about allowing Kiev to strike targets deep in Russian territory using Western-supplied missile complexes.
Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov, commenting on Russia’s possible response to new strikes on Russian territory, noted that the head of state and the military are aware of this and are taking corresponding countermeasures and preparing for them.
