Ottawa supports the initiative to lift Kyiv's restrictions on the use of Western-made long-range weapons to strike targets deep within Russian territory, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stated.
“Yes, Canada fully supports Ukraine in using long-range weapons to prevent and impede Russia's continued ability to destroy Ukrainian civilian infrastructure and mainly kill innocent civilians in this unjust war,” the Canadian prime minister told reporters.
If NATO countries allow Ukraine to use their long-range weapons to strike deep into Russia, it will mean a direct war on Russia, Russia’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations Vasily Nebenzya said.
"Once a decision to lift restrictions is really made, it will mean that NATO countries begin a direct war on Russia from this very moment. In this case, naturally, we will be forced to make corresponding decisions with all potential consequences for the Western aggressors. And our Western colleagues won’t be able to dodge responsibility and shift the blame onto Kiev," he said at a meeting of the UN Security Council on Ukraine.
According to the Russian diplomat, such a scenario would cardinally change Moscow’s relations with Western countries.
