This escalation could potentially trigger catastrophic repercussions.
As reported by Gateway Pundit, Russian President Vladimir Putin has reiterated his stern warning to the U.S. and NATO. He has stated that if the West permits Ukraine to utilize long-range missiles, it would essentially be declaring war on Russia. This warning comes in the wake of meetings between U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, where the use of such weaponry was reportedly discussed.
According to the Daily Mail, Putin expressed his concerns, stating, "It would mean that NATO countries, the US, European countries, are at war with Russia. If that's the case, then taking into account the change of nature of the conflict, we will take the appropriate decisions based on the threats that we will face." He further emphasized that allowing Ukraine to use missiles capable of hitting Russian targets would be a clear indication of NATO countries' direct involvement in the conflict.

This warning from Putin comes on the heels of Ukraine's repeated requests for permission to launch U.S. missiles into Russian territory. The Biden administration's response has been that they are 'running out of ATACMS' to supply Ukraine. The timing of Putin's warning is significant, as it was issued less than 24 hours before President Joe Biden's meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer at the White House.

President Zelensky has been urging the West to provide more firepower and air defenses in response to a series of devastating Russian rocket attacks. The Institute for the Study of War, a U.S. think-tank, has identified nearly 250 high-value military and paramilitary targets within range of the weapons that Ukraine could potentially destroy. These targets include up to 16 Russian air bases, numerous brigade and division headquarters, artillery and missile units crucial to Russia's air defense capabilities, and various logistics hubs supplying Putin's frontline units.

However, Putin has pointed out that the use of high-precision long-range Western-made weapons is a different matter entirely. He argues that the Ukrainian army lacks the capability to strike with these advanced systems. The operation of such weaponry requires satellite data, which Ukraine does not possess, and can only be obtained from NATO satellites. Furthermore, the flight missions for these missile systems can only be executed by NATO military personnel, not Ukrainian servicemen.

As Simplicius on Substack explains, advanced missiles and weapons systems often run on proprietary software that requires special keys, programs, and equipment to input coordinates. These cannot be provided to the Ukrainians without potentially compromising the entire system in the event of future conflict. Therefore, Putin's assertion is that for these systems to strike deep into Russia, NATO would have to be directly involved as a combatant, marking a more explicit involvement than ever before in the conflict.

The unfolding situation in Ukraine is a stark reminder of the delicate balance of power in global politics. The potential for escalation and the crossing of 'red lines' could have far-reaching implications, not just for the countries directly involved, but for the entire world. The decisions made by the West in the coming days and weeks will be critical in determining the trajectory of this conflict and the future of international relations.
