Possible retaliatory strikes on Kyiv "decision-makers", even with Western presence

 

 -

 The Russian military has warned it could strike Ukrainian “decision-making centers” in the Ukrainian capital and said wouldn’t be stopped by the possible presence of Western advisers there.

The Russian Defense Ministry on Tuesday accused the U.K. of making statements encouraging Ukraine to use Western weapons to carry out strikes on the Russian territory, warning that if it happens the Russian military could retaliate by hitting government structures in Kyiv.

***   "We would like to stress that London’s direct instigation of the regime in Kiev to commit such actions, should these attempts materialize, will instantly entail our proportionate response. As we have warned, the Russian armed forces are ready round the clock to carry out retaliatory strikes with long-range smart weapons against decision-making centers in Kiev," the Defense Ministry said.

Also, the Defense Ministry warned that "the subjects of one of the Western countries, present at the Ukrainian decision-making centers in Kiev in the capacity of advisers, will not necessarily constitute a problem for Russia in making a decision to retaliate."

Earlier, Heappey said in a BBC interview that it would be "completely legitimate" for Ukraine to attack targets inside Russa with Western weapons.

"It is completely legitimate for Ukraine to be targeting in Russia's depth in order to disrupt the logistics," he said.
