Since the Russia-Ukraine conflict began, the West, especially America, has been supplying weapons to Ukraine. U.S. President Biden has allowed Ukraine to use these weapons to strike Russian military targets. This decision came after Europe gave permission for Ukraine to use the weapons as needed for self-defense. Putin warned the international media that this is a dangerous step.
In response, Russia could deploy conventional weapons close to Western countries or arm the West's enemies if the supplied weapons are used inside Russia. Ukraine has been using U.S. Himars rocket launchers to attack Russian air defense systems within Russia, which has significantly reduced Russian bombings inside Ukraine.
Germany's decision to let Ukraine use their weapons against Russia poses a serious threat to Russia-German relations. Ukraine has also received ATACMS long-range missiles, capable of striking 200 miles inside Russia, but they are only authorized to use GLMRS short-range missiles, which can hit targets up to 40 miles away.
The UK Foreign Secretary pointed out that Russia is using Iranian drones and North Korean missiles in Ukraine, so Ukraine should also be allowed to use the supplied weapons inside Russia. Putin argued that Russia, as a nuclear state, is not a threat to anyone, while the U.S. is, because they have used nuclear weapons before in Japan.
