Russia’s UN ambassador Vassily Nebenzia told the UN security council on Friday that if western countries allow Ukraine to conduct long-range strikes in Russia then Nato countries would be “conducting direct war with Russia”. “The facts are that Nato will be a direct party to hostilities against a nuclear power, I think you shouldn’t forget about this and think about the consequences,” Nebenzia told the 15-member council
The comments echo words from Russian president Vladimir Putin who on Thursday said any western decision to let Kyiv use such longer-range weapons against targets inside Russia would mean Nato would be “at war” with Moscow. On Friday Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Putin had delivered a clear message to the west about the consequences of allowing Ukraine to hit Russian territory, and that there was no doubt that Putin’s message had reached those it was intended for
俄罗斯驻联合国大使瓦西里·涅边齐亚周五告诉联合国安理会，如果西方国家允许乌克兰对俄罗斯进行远程打击，那么北约国家将“与俄罗斯直接开战”。涅边齐亚对 15 个成员国的安理会表示：“事实是，北约将直接参与对核大国的敌对行动，我认为你们不应该忘记这一点，要考虑后果。”
这些言论呼应了俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京的言论。普京周四表示，西方任何允许基辅使用这种远程武器打击俄罗斯境内目标的决定，都意味着北约将与莫斯科“开战”。克里姆林宫发言人德米特里·佩斯科夫周五表示，普京已经向西方发出了明确的信息，即允许乌克兰袭击俄罗斯领土的后果，毫无疑问，普京的信息已经传达给了目标对象
