Moscow says Kyiv could become ‘giant melted spot’ if long-range weapons used

SpaceWar.com reports: “Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Saturday said Kyiv could be reduced to a ‘giant melted spot’ if Western nationals allow Ukraine to use long-range weapons to attack Russia.

Medvedev, who currently serves as the deputy chair of the Russian Security Council, made the comments in a lengthy post on his Telegram social media channel.

The comments come after U.S. President Joe Biden earlier in the week suggested the White House may soon end its ban on Ukraine using long-range weapons against Russia.

Biden met Friday at the White House with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. The two leaders again pledged their unified support for Ukraine but stopped short of issuing any clarity on the use of long-range weapons.

Medvedev, who celebrated his 59th birthday Saturday, also said in his post that Russia already has ‘formal’ grounds to use nuclear weapons against Ukraine after the latter sent troops into Russia’s Kursk region.

The comments come after Russian President Vladimir Putin this week told Western nations, allowing Ukraine to fire long-range missiles at Russia would equate to being at war with NATO…”
