Russian President Vladimir Putin has unleashed a slew of new threats, suggesting he could provide arms to countries to hit Western targets and rattling his nuclear saber yet again. Putin's warning — a response to the decision by the United States and its European allies to allow Ukraine to attack some Russian territory using their weapons — was the latest Kremlin threat against greater support for Kyiv.
Putin warned European NATO states last week that the move to allow Ukraine to strike inside Russia with their weapons was playing with fire and could precipitate a global conflict. Ukraine’s allies had been reluctant to allow their weapons to be used inside Russia until now out of fear of retaliation by Moscow. But the Kremlin's new cross-border offensive ramped up the pressure for a shift, with Kyiv feeling it had been left handicapped and increasingly frustrated.
