Moscow would trigger a “contingency plan” outlined by President Vladimir Putin in the event that Ukraine receives permission to use Western-supplied long-range missiles for strikes deep inside Russia, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has warned.
Putin earlier said that any such strikes would be treated by Moscow as a direct attack by the countries that provided the weapons.
The diplomat was commenting on an upcoming meeting of Kiev’s foreign arms donors, which Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky has been touting as “historic.” Moscow does not follow statements on the issue as it already has a response prepared, the foreign minister said.
“As soon as this decision is taken [by the West to allow Ukraine to use long-range missiles], if it is taken, we will learn that, and the contingency mentioned by Vladimir Putin will already be in action,” Lavrov told Russia’s Channel 1 broadcaster.
Putin has warned that any such attack by Ukraine with Western-supplied long-range missiles would be treated by Moscow as being directly launched by NATO. He has suggested that Russia could arm enemies of the West with similar weapons in response.
Moscow is currently updating its nuclear doctrine to include an attack by a non-nuclear state backed by a nuclear one to the conditions which could trigger a nuclear retaliation from Russia.
Kiev has been asking the US and its allies to lift a ban on strikes deep inside Russia with their long-range weapons for months, blaming its recent setbacks on the battlefield on Western reluctance.
Russian officials previously claimed that the principal decision to grant Ukraine its wish had already been made, and that Western nations were choosing a means to present it to the general public.
Zelensky had hoped that the ban would be lifted during his visit last month to the US, where he presented his ‘victory plan’ to President Joe Biden. According to local media, US officials are skeptical about the Ukrainian leader’s proposal, which they do not consider viable for defeating Russia.
Moscow, which describes the Ukraine conflict as a US-led proxy war against Russia, has pledged to achieve its goals by any means necessary as its national security depends on it. The West is willing “to fight to the last Ukrainian” to inflict damage on Russia, the Kremlin has argued.
The political leaders provoking these replies from Russia, and Iran, in general do not represent the desires or needs of their respective Country’s inhabitants. Perhaps the mouthpieces should be targeted instead of the countries in question. Indeed they could have a duel, it would serve us better, and serve them right.
The hospital bombed 2 days ago
killed 2 from doctors without borders
this brings the total to over 700 doctors nurses aid workers and just helpers who go to world trouble spots to help the sick and wounded
the hospital bombed had several israelis there who also died
this brings the total deaths of staff at my own hospital to 5
bombing hospitals is about the lowest you can get
even for a jew
The hypocrisy, when there are deep strikes in Crimea and old Russia.
We wouldn’t be on the brink of nuclear war if Putin put his balls on the table and nuked the UK Nazis.
There’s got to be 100s of elite Russians who want the UK nuked.
Perfect. Unequivocal. And very, very dangerous. One can but hope fervently that ‘the West’ tales notice and acts accordingly.
Presumably they think long range drone strikes and actual invasion into border territory are merely minor inconveniences over there in Russia…it certainly seems that way..
Himars missile attacks on Crimea and the sinking of your best warships etc the work of ‘minor’ terrorists..nazis that will be re-educated..
It’s this sort of blather that makes them look weak and laughable…of course you don’t negotiate from a position of weakness…so you make laughable statements short on decisive action..
and that’s because these imbeciles are a puppet government…
By the way..historically speaking the Russians have always had puppet government and outside of their questionable ‘history’ have always had trouble projecting power…securing victory only when they’ve been battered like ‘Rocky’ on the defensive..
and made the comeback…
They need some good military leadership that doesn’t work for jewe money power or the Kosher Nostra that runs the satrap.. and forget about surrender.. which of course will benefit the same people as they pump in the Africans and Moslems to finish them off..
Like everywhere else…
…unfortunately they seem to have imprisoned all those fellas..
unsurprisingly..

RAZY OR WHAT ?
scientists for some time have been working on frozen corpses of the
wooly mammoth to cross its DNA with an elephant and bring it back to life
They also have several dinosaurs that could be brought back.
Another project is the Dodo, a flightless bird that carries a lot of flesh
said to be able to feed several families
But The Soviets have the big news, they have admitted they have had
Adolf Hitlers burnt corpse all along and want to bring him back to put him on trial

Major changes to busy junction needed ahead of 60,000 new Essex homes
Story by Matthew Critchell
plans to revamp a south Essex junction, where vital routes meet, must go ahead to allow for around 60,000 new homes to built and new jobs to be created, a council meeting was told. Essex County Council has agreed to appoint a firm to carry out the major improvements to the Fairglen Junction where the A130, A13 and A127 join together. At a cabinet meeting of Essex County Council on October 8, councillors were told how the plans are vital to allow for the number of new MP homes proposed to be built.
MP homes are Migrant Priority
The meeting also heard that due to rising costs the county council has written to the Government asking for additional funding and support for the project. Council members were also told how district councils should be drawing up funding from developers looking for planning permission to help the project.
Councillor Tom Cunningham, cabinet member for highways and infrastructure at Essex County Council said: “The scheme has been developed since 2014 and will address significant congestion and safety issues at the junction. The performance of the junction is needed to support the delivery of housing and employment growth in south Essex including Basildon, Castle Point, Rochford and Southend local plans which will collectively be delivering some 60,000 homes by 2043 and if this goes ahead its estimated many new jobs would be created in the south Essex area over the time frame.
The fact is we are expecting a deluge of refugees expelld from palestine iraq lebanon and syria and possibly iran, and these folk will have to go some where
For those who might not have seen it before, at 10.15pm tonight on BBC 4 (Freeview Ch 9), they are repeating the 1984 TV film ‘Threads’. It’s about a nuclear attack on Britain, set in Sheffield. It’s some years since I’ve seen it and I recorded it from TV so I probably won’t watch it, but it is thought-provoking and worth a look-in if you’ve never seen it. It’s probably being shown tonight as subtle propaganda about a Russian nuclear threat while ignoring the fact we became the threat.
Russia has been a colony of orange since peter the tiny.even their flag is Dutch.they raised the koersk.heralding the age of putain,their puppet controlled from the southern axis in Amsterdam.the financial mile.like bolsjewism was organised in the hague.for every epoch they have a new program .to control the masses and their resources.
The war of meaningless words from “leaders of opposing reason” only benefit the management of the intellectual (or not) herd of economical global slaves that serve “their” cuntries with divided patriotism, imbecility and a blind trust of “authority and Law” that is the jailer of the human soul while exploiting commercial bodies that even pay for their own license (incl tax) to “live” and dream of a better life – only to disappear in a sinkhole and die within the heart.
THE PANTHER
His weary glance, from passing by the bars,
Has grown into a dazed and vacant stare;
It seems to him there are a thousand bars
And out beyond those bars the empty air.
The pad of his strong feet, that ceaseless sound
Of supple tread behind the iron bands,
Is like a dance of strength circling around,
While in the circle, stunned, a great will stands.
But there are times the pupils of his eyes
Dilate, the strong limbs stand alert, apart,
Tense with the flood of visions that arise
Only to sink and die within his heart.

The Russians are greedy to think they need so much land; the country is ridiculously big
a writer here keeps on about natzis
