Moscow: In a televised address, Russian President Vladimir Putin declared that the conflict in Ukraine has escalated to a global dimension following recent Western missile attacks on the Russian regions of Kursk and Bryansk. Putin emphasized that Russia would respond decisively to any further provocations.
The Russian leader accused the United States and its allies of undermining international security and warned that Russia reserves the right to target military facilities in countries that support Ukraine with weapons. “The conflict in Ukraine, provoked by the West, has now acquired elements of a global nature,” Putin stated12.
This development comes amid heightened tensions and ongoing military engagements in the region. Western nations have condemned Russia’s actions, while Ukraine continues to receive support in the form of military aid from its allies3.
The situation remains volatile, with potential implications for global security and stability. Observers are closely monitoring the developments as both sides prepare for possible further escalations.
