Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued a stern warning to NATO, stating that if Western countries allow Ukraine to use long-range missiles against Russia, it will be considered an act of war by NATO against Russia. This statement was echoed by Russia's UN Permanent Representative Vasily Nebenzia, who emphasized that such a move would force Moscow to respond.
