Washington is delivering missiles to Ukraine capable of striking Russian
territory. The British government wants to send even longer range
missiles. “If these types of weapons are used against Russian territories, the
armed forces of our country will have no choice but to act to defeat
decision-making centers,”
Medvedev: Russia will hit the decision-making centers in case of an attack from Kyiv
MOSCOW, June 2. /TASS/. Moscow will strike deadly at the decision-making centers if Kyiv uses weapons received from the United States against Russian territories. This was stated by Deputy Head of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev in an interview with the Qatari TV channel
“If these types of weapons are used against Russian territories, the armed forces of our country will have no choice but to act to defeat decision-making centers,” he said.
The deputy head of the Security Council stressed: “Everyone understands what kind of centers these are – this is the Ministry of Defense, and the General Staff, and anything else.” “But you need to understand that the final decision-making centers in this case, unfortunately, are not even located on the territory of Kyiv. Therefore, this is certainly a threat that will need to be taken into account,” Medvedev said.
According to him, Moscow drew attention to the change in Washington’s position on the supply of weapons to Ukraine. “At first, President [US Joe] Biden said that they would not supply multiple launch rocket systems, MLRS, especially advanced ranges. And then this position was adjusted, and it was announced that, in any case, certain types, such as HIMARS, would delivered,” the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation illustrated the situation.
And although, according to him, these MLRS “do not have such a long area of destruction, not such a range as some other systems, but it still poses an obvious threat” to Russia. “The Americans stipulate this by saying that these systems will be used only on the territory of Ukraine, but for obvious reasons they do not fully control those decisions, in any case, which are applied and adopted by the Ukrainian authorities. Therefore, this is, of course, a threat, we must respond,” Medvedev concluded.
