Russia Warns US of 'Fatal' Consequences Over Ukraine Missteps

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov warned the United States of "fatal consequences" if it allows Ukraine to use U.S.-supplied weapons to strike targets inside Russia, following President Biden's recent approval of such actions. Ryabkov emphasized the seriousness of President Putin's warnings about the risk of a deeper global conflict and criticized the U.S. for underestimating the potential rebuff from Moscow. NATO maintains its stance on supporting Ukraine's right to self-defense, while Ukraine continues to seek fewer restrictions on the use of Western-supplied weapons.
