Ukraine-News: Moscow wants to penetrate deeper into Ukraine because of Western weapons

The Russian leadership is threatening to dig deeper into the country over the supply of long-range western weapons to Ukraine. The aim must be to keep Western weapons as far away as possible from Russian territory – including the annexed areas – said Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in an interview with Russian television. The statement is a reaction to US plans to equip Kyiv with missiles that have a range of 150 kilometers. “If we are now striving to push back the artillery of the Ukrainian armed forces to such a distance that they no longer pose a threat to our territories, then it is necessary to drive them even further away from the territories that are part of our country, ever longer-range weapons they have,” says Lavrov.
