Ambassador Antonov: Biden will allow American weapons to strike deep into Russia [Regnum] Russian Ambassador to Washington Anatoly Antonov suggested that following the planned meeting between US President Joe Biden and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, it could be announced that restrictions on their weapons strikes deep into Russia will be lifted. Antonov noted that such a decision could be hasty. “I don’t even rule out the possibility that during our conversation, breaking news will suddenly come out that the president has made this kind of decision,” the diplomat said on September 13 on the air of the Russia 24 TV channel. As reported by the Regnum news agency, NATO will start a direct war with Russia if it allows Kiev to use long-range weapons on Russian territory, said Russia's permanent representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya. The permanent representative pointed to the extreme interest of the head of the Kiev regime, Volodymyr Zelensky, in involving NATO countries in a military conflict with Russia. Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov, commenting on the meeting between Joe Biden and Keir Starmer, did not rule out that the decision to strike Russia with ATACMS missiles has probably already been made in the United States. According to him, Washington and European countries are trying to distance themselves from involvement in the conflict, but they are not very successful. The United States takes seriously the statements of Russian President Vladimir Putin about the consequences of allowing Kiev to strike at Russian territory with long-range weapons. This was stated on September 13 by John Kirby, coordinator of strategic communications for the White House National Security Council. More from regnum.ru US monitors Russia's position on consequences of participation in conflict in Ukraine The statements of Russian President Vladimir Putin about the possible consequences of Western countries' participation in the Ukrainian conflict are being closely monitored in the United States. This was stated on September 13 by the official representative of the US State Department Matthew Miller. “Of course, we pay close attention to everything he says,” Miller told reporters at a briefing, commenting on Putin’s corresponding statement. Washington, despite the warning from the Russian leader, will continue to supply Ukraine with the necessary weapons and participate in the international coalition to assist the Ukrainian Armed Forces, he added. As reported by the Regnum news agency, on September 12, Vladimir Putin called the discussions on allowing the Ukrainian Armed Forces to use precision weapons for strikes deep into Russia a substitution of concepts. According to him, this issue is about making a decision on whether NATO countries will directly participate in the conflict or not. The head of state explained that this would mean nothing other than the direct participation of NATO countries in military actions in Ukraine and, accordingly, against Russia. Putin emphasized that the Russian Federation will take appropriate measures based on the threats that will be created. Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to international organizations in Vienna Mikhail Ulyanov called Putin's statement a serious, delicate, but strict warning that should not be ignored. The representative of the UN Secretary-General Stephane Dujarric noted that the rhetoric about allowing Ukraine to use long-range weapons to strike deep into Russia does not bring the world closer to ending the conflict. Even more from regnum.ru Antonov urges US officials not to 'play with fire' after Putin's remarks Former American officials asked Russian diplomats what exactly President Vladimir Putin meant in his statementwhen he spoke about possibly allowing Ukraine to strike deep into Russia. This was stated by Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov. “Yesterday’s statements by Vladimir Vladimirovich were very carefully recorded here; several former officials called me and asked what was really behind these statements,” the diplomat explained on the air of the Russia 24 TV channel. Antonov added that he simply told his colleagues “not to play with fire.” As reported by the Regnum news agency, Vladimir Putin's statements about the possible consequences of Western countries' participation in the Ukrainian conflict are being closely monitored in the United States, State Department spokesman Matthew Miller admitted on September 13.
