Kremlin: Putin’s Explanation of the Consequences of Sending Tomahawks to Ukraine Was Clear
According to the English section of webangah News Agency, citing Mehr News Agency and TASS, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov responded to Moscow’s stance on the potential provision of long-range Tomahawk missiles from the U.S. to Ukraine by stressing that President Vladimir Putin spoke very clearly about Russia’s response.
Peskov said, ”Regarding Moscow’s position, I must say that President Putin explained it point by point and without any ambiguity at his recent appearance at the Valdai discussion Club. Everything was clear in that meeting.”
On October 2, Putin told the Valdai International Discussion Club that using Tomahawk missiles without direct involvement of U.S. forces would be impractical; should this occur,it “would represent a completely new phase and a qualitatively different level of escalation,including between Russia and america.”
On October 5, the Russian president also stressed that Washington’s possible decision to send Tomahawk missiles to Kyiv would overshadow any positive developments in Russia-U.S.relations.
