At UN, Russia warns NATO of consequences if Ukraine allowed to do long-range strikes

Russia’s UN Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia told the United Nations 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.
