The Deputy Chairman of Russia’s National Security Council (Their equivalent of a Senate) has warned that the Kremlin could target western cities if Ukraine uses rockets supplied by the US to carry out strikes on\u00a0Russia.<\/p>\n
President\u00a0Joe Biden\u00a0announced this week that his administration was\u00a0sending long-range missiles to Ukraine, backtracking on an earlier statement that the US would not be giving the war-torn country advanced weaponry.<\/p>\n
Dmitry Medvedev, a former President of Russia and current chairman of the national security council, warned there would be consequences if these were used against Russian soil.<\/p>\n
He told Al Jazeera: \u2018If, God forbid, these weapons are used against Russian territory then our armed forces will have no other choice but to strike decision-making centers.\u00a0\u2018Of course, it needs to be understood that the final decision-making centers in this case, unfortunately,\u00a0are not located\u00a0on the territory of Kyiv.\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n The rocket systems being sent over to Ukraine will be able to strike enemy targets about 50 miles away.<\/p>\n Biden said it would help Ukraine on the battlefield as fighting intensifies in the east of the country.<\/p>\n The White House said it had agreed to provide Ukraine with the new missiles after receiving assurances from\u00a0President Zelensky that they would not be used to hit targets inside Russia.<\/p>\n However, the Kremlin said it did not believe Zelensky.<\/p>\n
