Moscow promises “devastating response” if Zelensky strikes deep in Russian territory

London and Paris are eager for Kiev to receive the green light from Washington to fire Western-supplied missiles deep into Russia, a move that Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova warns will provoke a “devastating response” from Moscow.

At a news briefing this week, Zakharova addressed a report from The Telegraph last week claiming that the United Kingdom and France are asking the United States for permission to approve Ukrainian strikes on Russia using Storm Shadow and Scalp cruise missiles before President-elect Donald Trump is installed in January.

“If the Kiev regime gets permission for the aforementioned strikes, we will treat it as NATO de-facto entering a direct conflict with Russia,” Zakharova said. “A response to the use of Western long-range weapons against the territory of our nation would be imminent and devastating.”

Russia has repeatedly said that longer-range, Western-supplied weapons are a no-go in Ukraine, at least not when Ukrainian forces are using them on their own. NATO specialists are needed, as is intelligence data obtained through the bloc’s satellite systems, in order for the weapons to be used properly.

There is a very real possibility that Washington will give Kiev the green light like London and Paris are asking. If that happens, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that Moscow will consider such an action to be indicative of NATO joining the conflict directly.

“If such weapons are used, that would mean that not just Ukraine but the NATO nations are openly at war with Russia,” he told Rossiya Segodnya.

Putin’s changes to Russia’s nuclear doctrine

Another recent development is the changes Russian President Vladimir Putin made to his country’s nuclear doctrine. Attacks on Russia by a non-nuclear state, i.e., Ukraine, that is supported by a nuclear power, i.e., the United States, will be considered by Russia as justification for a nuclear response.

Read that again, America: If the pro-war West gets it wish, Russia is ready to sandblast the West as punishment using nuclear weapons.

We have been hearing this kind of rhetoric for a while, and eventually something is going to break. There is also talk that Ukraine might try to cheat by passing off Western-supplied missiles as having been built in Ukraine, which Zakharova called “bloody cheating,” warning that this would not even be possible for Ukraine to pull off without U.S. support.

One day before Zakharova issued her warning, former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson told GB News in an interview that London could soon send troops to Ukraine to try to stop Kiev from being defeated by Moscow.

Johnson says there is worry within the Western cabal that Trump might decrease or even abolish all military aid to Kiev, which would completely decimate the deep state in an instant.

Russia says it has no plans to attack any NATO member states. However, should NATO get involved in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, all bets are off.

“It’d be interesting to enter the reality of the likes of Starmer and Macron to understand what makes them think resorting to such desperate measures could force Russia to yield!” a commenter wrote about the situation.

“It is plain to see that Russia is facing a very nasty and implacable enemy,” wrote another. “In a situation like this, military force is a necessary and indispensable option.”

“Boris and Starmer / British intelligence represent a genuine threat to world peace,” said another. “They are stupid and enmeshed in their Russophobic fantasies. They need to be slapped away like naughty children.”
