Russian Foreign Ministry promises to "sensitise" the West

Russia has military-technical means to "sensitise the West", Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told local media. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov told local mass media about this. In his opinion, Russia can attack Ukraine with all kinds of weapons, but Kiev's response already constitutes "aggression". He called the strikes on Russia with Western weapons a direct involvement of Western countries in the war.

We have large-scale countermeasures to dissuade our opponents, as long as they do not understand any other arguments. The West hears us, but they don't want to listen. This is the key problem," the diplomat said.

It is not the first time that the Russian Foreign Ministry has threatened the West. Earlier, Ryabkov said that "Russia will make sure that the United States will be shaken and frightened by the consequences of its involvement in the conflict in Ukraine."

They need to be brought to their senses, and what is now being undertaken from our side is aimed exactly at this," the official said commenting on the West's permission to hit military facilities on Russian territory with its weapons.

Recall, the head of the Kremlin Vladimir Putin approved amendments to the nuclear doctrine of Russia. In particular, the document now says that aggression against Russia or its allies by any non-nuclear state with the participation or support of a nuclear state will be considered a joint attack.

Before that, Putin said that lifting restrictions on Kiev's use of Western long-range missiles would mean that NATO countries are at war with Russia.
