Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued a stern warning to NATO members, cautioning against the provision of Western weapons to Ukraine for use in strikes deep inside Russia, which he believes could escalate into a global conflict.
This warning comes as Belgium commits to supplying Ukraine with 30 F-16 fighter jets over the next four years, highlighting the increasing military aid from Europe to Ukraine amidst the ongoing conflict. Putin's remarks underscore the heightened tensions and the potential for serious consequences if Ukrainian forces were to attack Russian soil with Western-supplied weaponry.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has also weighed in, suggesting that the absence of US President Joe Biden at an upcoming peace summit in Switzerland would effectively signal support for Putin, further complicating the international diplomatic landscape.
