The Russian Foreign Ministry has issued a series of warnings regarding escalating tensions with the West and the United States' support for Ukraine. Moscow has criticized the potential use of Patriot systems over Russian territory, describing it as a path of escalation and vowing to take all necessary measures to thwart threats, according to TASS. Additionally, the ministry condemned Ukraine's attacks on Russian early-warning radars, stating that any such attempts would be thwarted and that the response may be asymmetrical, as reported by RIA. The ministry also warned the United States against allowing Ukraine to strike inside Russia, cautioning that such actions could lead to fatal consequences, reported by Interfax. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov reiterated these warnings, emphasizing the potential for serious consequences if the U.S. ignores Moscow's cautions. President Vladimir Putin echoed these sentiments, questioning the U.S. response in the event of serious consequences in Europe and highlighting the parity in strategic nuclear weapons between the two nations.
