Descrizione:

A senior Russian official says the country could go to war with NATO after President Biden allowed some US weapons to be used by Ukraine in Russia.

A top Russian official has said it could go to war with NATO if Ukraine strikes inside Russia with US weapons.

On Thursday, President Joe Biden partially lifted restrictions on how Ukraine can use military supplies sent by the US.

In response, senior Russian security official Dmitry Medvedev issued a series of warnings to the West.

"Russia regards all long-range weapons used by Ukraine as already being directly controlled by servicemen from NATO countries. This is no military assistance, this is participation in a war against us," Medvedev said.

"And such actions could well become a casus belli [an act that provokes a war]."

He said it would be a "fatal mistake" on the part of the West to think that Russia was not ready to use tactical nuclear weapons against Ukraine - and spoke of the potential to strike unnamed hostile countries with strategic nuclear weapons.
