Putin Warns He Could Provide Weapons to Attack the West

More from the article...

... His warning " a response to the decision by the United States and its European allies to allow Ukraine to attack some Russian territory using their weapons " was the latest Kremlin threat against greater support for Kyiv. The Russian leader also insisted that Washington and its partners were wrong to assume he would never use nuclear weapons.

In response, President Joe Biden said Thursday that Putin was "a dictator" who had "concerned me for 40 years" and was struggling to balance domestic pressures with the demands of his military campaign.

But Biden also emphasized the U.S. was not allowing Ukraine to use American weapons to strike deep inside Russia and target Moscow or the Kremlin itself. ...

Isn't Pres Putin doing that already?

Russia's 'brazen' and intensifying sabotage campaign across Europe (May 13, 2024)

... Russia is conducting a sabotage campaign across Europe in an increasingly aggressive effort by President Vladimir Putin to undermine Western support for Ukraine, seeking to damage railways, military bases and other sites used to supply arms to Kyiv, U.S. and European officials say.

The attempted sabotage includes an alleged Russian-backed arson attack on a Ukrainian-linked warehouse in the United Kingdom, a plot to bomb or set fire to military bases in Germany, attempts to hack and disrupt Europe's railway signal network and the jamming of GPS systems for civil aviation, according to European and British authorities.

@#11 ... What's the problem with RT? ...

A few years back I used to read RT (Russia Today) for news. t was quite good back then. Quite independent.

Then something happened, circa 2010 through 2015.

Russian propaganda seemed to take hold, and the toe of the reporting changed.

I tried staying with it, but around 2018 or so, I just gave up on it.

The reporting was sounding too much like the Radio Moscow shortwave broadcasts I used to listen to back in the 60's and 70's.

So, my direct answer to the question you pose: to me it is now Russian propaganda.

@#12 ... Russia Times is not allowed here. Just FYI ...

Link worked for me.
