The Russian government on Tuesday cautioned western leaders against their plans of green-lighting Ukraine to strike deep inside Russia with western powerful weapons.
The Kremlin said the leaders of US, Germany and France are acting recklessly because they have lost support and want to leave the political scene by endorsing a nasty decision.
“[The incumbent United States President Joe] Biden, who is already gone, having quit the election race, [German Chancellor Olaf] Scholz, who has practically lost everywhere and his future as a politician is equal to nothing, and [France’s President Emmanuel] Macron, whose citizens also did not support him, today may provoke a conflict that will entail irreversible consequences. We, for our part, must do everything to prevent this,” State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin said.
“This discussion can lead to the most terrible consequences. They are discussing strikes on our peaceful cities, and they are discussing this while thinking that it will not affect them. This is not so. We will retaliate. We have the means of retaliation. More powerful weapons are kept ready,” he stressed.
According to Volodin, it is crucial for the parliaments of the United States and European countries to “understand and realize what can happen.”
He added that Russian President Vladimir Putin “is doing everything to stop a nuclear catastrophe and stop a war that may escalate into a world war.”
“I would like the politicians of European countries to understand where the leaders who do not have the support of their people are steering them,” Volodin stated.
