Putin has issued a warning that if Ukraine uses long-range missiles to attack targets inside Russia, this would mean a direct war with NATO.
So far, Ukraine has only been allowed by the US to use US-provided missiles across the border into Russia for a limited distance and only in self-defence.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has however repeatedly called for these limitations to be lifted so that Ukraine can fire at targets further inside Russia.
Putin however warned on Russian State TV on Thursday that this would change the war:
<blockquote>
“This would in a significant way change the very nature of the conflict. It would mean that NATO countries, the US, European countries, are at war with Russia. And if this is so, then, bearing in mind the change in the very essence of this conflict, we will make appropriate decisions based on the threats that will be created for us”
</blockquote>
Russia’s ambassador to the United Nations also said on Friday to the 15-member UN Security Council:
<blockquote>
“The facts are that NATO will be a direct party to hostilities against a nuclear power, I think you shouldn’t forget about this and think about the consequences.”
</blockquote>
Ukraine is supported and provided weapons by the west and use of the weapons comes with conditions and restrictions. These restrictions, Zelensky says prevent them from targeting airfields, ammunition depots and command centres deep inside Russia, and increasing the costs of the war for Putin. A key request for Zelensky has been the approval to strike with US-produced Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS). But the US has so far declined this request.
The Prime Minister of Poland (a Nato member) said about the Putin warning:
<blockquote>
“It is necessary to take all events in Ukraine and on the Ukrainian-Russian front very seriously, but I would not attach excessive importance to the latest statements from President Putin. They rather show the difficult situation the Russians have on the front.”
</blockquote>

Putin warned that if Ukraine uses long-range missiles to attack Russia, NATO would be involved in a direct war with Russia. Ukraine wants to be allowed to use more powerful missiles to hit deeper targets in Russia, but the US has restrictions. Russia's ambassador to the UN warned about NATO getting involved in a war with a nuclear power. Ukraine's support from the West comes with limitations on their weapons use. The Prime Minister of Poland doesn't think Putin's warning is a big deal, saying it shows Russia's difficulties in Ukraine.

Putin Warns Of War Against NATO If Ukraine Uses Long-Range Missiles

United States of America President Joe Biden on Thursday pledged to designate Kenya as a major non-NATO ally.
As reported by <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/5/24/major-non-nato-ally-what-does-bidens-new-kenya-pledge-mean">Al Jazeera</a>, this will make Kenya the first country in sub-Saharan Africa to hold the designation.
Addressing a news conference at the White House on Thursday, during Kenyan President William Ruto’s three-day visit to the US, Biden described the decision as “a fulfilment of years of collaboration”. He said:
<blockquote>
Our joint counterterrorism operations have degraded ISIS [ISIL] and al-Shabab across East Africa, our mutual support for Ukraine has rallied the world to stand behind the UN Charter, and our work together on Haiti is helping pave the way to reduce instability and insecurity.
</blockquote>
A Major non-NATO ally (MNNA) is a designation given by the United States government to countries that are not members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) but that have strategic working relationships with the U.S. Armed Forces.
Although MNNA status does not automatically constitute a mutual defence pact (as would be the case through NATO membership), it does confer a variety of military and financial advantages that are otherwise unobtainable by non-NATO countries.
The designation will allow Kenya to buy military technologies that would be harder for other countries to obtain from Washington.
According to the State Department website, MNNA benefits include the following:
<ul>
<li>MNNAs are eligible for loans of materials and equipment for research, development or testing. 
US-owned War Reserve Stockpiles can be placed on MNNA territory.</li>
<li>MNNAs can be considered for the purchase of depleted uranium ammunition.</li>
<li>The allies can enter a formal agreement with the US Department of Defense to carry out research and development projects. Additionally, firms of the MNNA can bid on contracts to repair and maintain US Defense Department equipment outside of the US.</li>
</ul>
However, the designation would not guarantee new defence agreements or weapon sales between Nairobi and Washington.
The US has currently designated 18 countries as MNNAs. These include Argentina, Australia, Bahrain, Brazil, Colombia, Egypt, Israel, Japan, Jordan, Kuwait, Morocco, New Zealand, Pakistan, the Philippines, Qatar, South Korea, Thailand and Tunisia.
In 2022, Biden cancelled Afghanistan’s status as an MNNA, 10 years after the designation was first announced.
During Ruto’s three-day visit, Kenya and the U.S. also decided to establish dialogue on artificial intelligence, collaboratively support Somali “antiterrorism” efforts and push for a ceasefire in Sudan, among several other issues discussed.
According to Al Jazeera, Biden hosted a state dinner for Ruto on Thursday with about 500 guests including former President Bill Clinton and his wife and former presidential nominee, Hillary, as well as former President Barack Obama.

U.S. President Joe Biden Pledges To Designate Kenya A "Major Non-NATO Ally"

President Vladimir Putin has suspended Russia’s participation in the New START, Russia-US nuclear treaty seeking to limit Russia and America’s strategic arsenals.
Speaking during his state-of-the-nation address to parliament and top officials in Moscow on Tuesday, Putin said Russia won’t allow the US and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to inspect its nuclear facilities.
He also said Russia won’t be the first to resume testing of nuclear weapons as a result of its suspension of New START, though it will do so in response to any US test
The treaty that was extended in 2021 is due to expire in 2026.
President Vladimir Putin vowed to press on with his invasion of Ukraine, according to<a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2023/2/21/russia-ukraine-live-news-putin-to-deliver-major-speech-on-war"> Al Jazeera</a>.
He said Russia is fighting for its “historic lands” in Ukraine and “will fulfil the tasks set step-by-step, carefully and consistently.”
NATO’s Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has said he regrets Russia’s decision to suspend its participation in the New START nuclear arms control treaty with the United States.
Speaking during a joint press conference with Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba and the European Union’s foreign policy chief Josep Borrell, Stoltenberg urged Moscow to reconsider the move.
His remarks came shortly after President Vladimir Putin delivered a warning to the West over Ukraine in a combative state-of-the-union address.
Stoltenberg also rejected Putin’s claims that Kyiv and its Western allies were to blame for the war, saying instead that Russia was the aggressor.

Putin Has Suspended Russia-US Nuclear Weapons Treaty

Former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Boris Johnson, has claimed that Russian President Vladimir Putin “sort of threatened” him with a missile attack shortly before Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022.
According to a new BBC documentary to be aired on Monday evening, the threat was made in a phone call conducted when the Russian attack on Ukraine was increasingly becoming inevitable. Said Johnson:
<blockquote>
He (Putin) sort of threatened me at one point and said, ‘Boris, I don’t want to hurt you, but with a missile, it would only take a minute’, or something like that.
</blockquote>
Johnson and other Western leaders were trying to dissuade Russia from attacking Ukraine and the British PM emerged as one of President Volodymyr Zelensky’s strongest supporters.
Before the invasion, Johnson claimed he was at pains to tell Putin that there was no imminent prospect of Ukraine joining NATO.
He warned the Russian President that any invasion would mean “more NATO, not less NATO” on Russia’s borders. Said Johnson:
<blockquote>
He said, ‘Boris, you say that Ukraine is not going to join NATO any time soon. ‘What is any time soon?’
And I said, ‘well it’s not going to join NATO for the foreseeable future. You know that perfectly well’.
I think from the very relaxed tone that he was taking and the sort of air of detachment that he seemed to have, he was just playing along with my attempts to get him to negotiate.
</blockquote>
The BBC documentary also reveals that Zelensky asked for weapons from NATO countries to stop the Russian invasion. | <a href="https://www.kyivpost.com/post/11628">Kyiv Post</a>

Former UK Prime Minister Claims Putin Threatened To Kill Him In Missile Strike

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday warned of a “global catastrophe” if NATO troops directly clashed with the Russian army in Ukraine.
Speaking in Kazakhstan’s capital Astana where he attended the Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia (CICA), Putin said:
<blockquote>
In any case, direct contact, a direct clash of (NATO) troops with the Russian army is a very dangerous move which could lead to a global catastrophe.
I hope that those who are saying this are smart enough not to take such a step.
</blockquote>
Earlier, Putin had warned that he would use nuclear weapons to defend Russian territory after annexing four regions of Ukraine last month, a move condemned by the United Nations.
On Tuesday, the Group of Seven (G7) nations (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK and the US) warned that the use of nuclear weapons on Ukraine will have severe consequences.
Leaders of G7 states (the UK, Germany, Italy, Canada, the US, France, and Japan) said:
<blockquote>
We deplore deliberate Russian escalator steps, including the partial mobilization of reservists and irresponsible nuclear rhetoric, which is putting global peace and security at risk.
We reaffirm that any use of chemical, biological or nuclear weapons by Russia would be met with severe consequences.
</blockquote>
Russia invaded Ukraine on 24 February 2022 but has so far failed to capture Kyiv or remove the Ukrainian government which it claimed was run by “Nazis”.
In fact, Ukraine, which has received a wide range of weapons from NATO members, has pushed Russian forces from the outskirts of its capital and recaptured significant territory in the east. | <a href="https://www.khaleejtimes.com/world/putin-warns-of-global-catastrophe-if-nato-russian-troops-clash-directly?_refresh=true">Khaleej Times</a>

Putin Warns Of "Global Catastrophe" If NATO, Russian Troops Clash Directly

Russia’s Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov has said Russia is a responsible member of the international community committed to its Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) non-proliferation obligations and is taking all necessary measures to prevent the emergence of nuclear weapons and related technologies in Ukraine. He made the remarks while addressing a high-level segment of the Conference on Disarmament, March 1, 2022. The conference comes amid rising tensions between Russia and Ukraine after <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2022/02/24/ukraines-foreign-minister-putin-launched-full-scale-invasion-well-defend-and-win/">Russia attacked its neighbour</a> over alleged genocide on pro-Russian citizens. We present his remarks below:
<blockquote>
Mr. President,
Dear colleagues,
I am honoured to address the Conference on Disarmament in person once again. I hoped that I could do it live while being in Geneva. However, it seemed impossible because the EU refused to comply with one of the fundamental human rights – the right to freedom of movement. Having chosen the path of unilateral illegitimate sanctions, the EU countries are trying to move away from an honest face-to-face dialogue, from direct contacts aimed at helping to find political solutions for pressing international problems.
The most acute of them – the tragedy of Ukraine – is the result of connivance of Western patrons to the criminal regime developed there after the bloody unconstitutional coup d’état in 2014 carried out contrary to the safeguards of Germany, Poland and France under the agreement on the settlement of internal Ukrainian crisis. Already then the attitude of the putschists to European values became evident. Today the dangers that the Zelensky’s regime pose for neighboring countries and international security in general have increased substantially after the authorities settled in Kiev started dangerous games related to plans to acquire their own nuclear weapons.
The irresponsible statements made on this subject are not just bravado. Ukraine still has soviet nuclear technologies and means of delivery of such weapons. We can’t fail to respond to this real danger. I can assure you: Russia as a responsible member of the international community committed to its WMD non-proliferation obligations is taking all necessary measures to prevent emergence of nuclear weapons and related technologies in Ukraine. We expect that everyone is aware of the need to solve this problem.
Today, there is a clear need to cooperate intensively in order to increase predictability and prevent new spirals of an arms race. In the current circumstances, it is necessary to refuse to take any actions aimed at dismantling the arms control, non-proliferation and disarmament architecture. Of high importance is to refrain from dangerous steps in the field of military build-up that could be regarded as a violation of the principle of equal and indivisible security. 
Unfortunately, this very fundamental principle is being disregarded by NATO member-states that redouble efforts to deter Russia. Suffice to mention pulling the Kiev regime into the Alliance’s orbit with providing it with lethal weapons as well as conducting provocative military exercises and other activities in the proximity of the Russian borders.
So far Western colleagues failed to demonstrate any willingness to provide Russia with legally binding long-term security guarantees. We mean the rejection of further NATO expansion, including the revocation of the “Bucharest formula,” which ensures Ukraine and Georgia NATO’s membership. Western countries must refrain from establishing military facilities on the territories of former USSR republics that are not NATO members, including the use of their infrastructure for any military activities. And finally, NATO’s military capabilities, including strike ones, and infrastructure, must be brought back to the levels of 1997 at a time when the NATO-Russia Founding Act was signed. These goals are of crucial importance for us.
In addition, I would like again to call on the US, its allies and clients to strictly comply with their international obligations not to strengthen their own security at the expense of others. It would certainly improve the military and political environment in the Euro-Atlantic region, pave the way forward on the entire combination of arms control issues, including possible work on any new arrangements.
Dear colleagues,
The UN disarmament machinery has a decisive role to play in paving ways to get the arms control, disarmament and non-proliferation system out of the crisis. The Conference on Disarmament is its key element. Results of its activities directly impact on the security of all mankind.
Among provisions from the Conference’s agenda, I would like to single out a legally binding instrument to prevent an arms race in outer space. The document is to strengthen the international legal regime in the area of space security. As you know, the 1967 Outer Space Treaty prohibits the placement of any types of WMD in outer space. It is clear that this norm does not extend to other types of weapons. Certain countries took advantage of this loophole to start weaponization of outer space. Doctrinal documents have been adopted, and plans for the deployment of weapons systems, including strike weapons, are being drawn up and transferred into the implementation stage. The threat of a new arms race and the transformation of outer space into an area of armed conflict are gaining real shape. All of this is fraught with dire consequences for global stability.
Russia and China submitted to the Conference a draft Treaty on Prevention of Placement of Weapons in Outer Space, the Threat or Use of Force against Outer Space Objects. Not an acceptable option is to delay the launching of such negotiations. Attempts to replace a legally binding instrument in this area with some half-measures in the form of “rules of responsible behaviour” in outer space are to be considered, in our view, as counter-productive.
We are convinced that negotiations on the prevention of an arms race in outer space would create a favourable context for progress towards nuclear disarmament, another agenda item to which Russia is devoting the greatest attention.
On our initiative, without any conditions the U.S.-Russian New START Treaty was extended for five years in February 2021. By agreement between the presidents of the U.S. and Russia, a comprehensive dialogue on strategic stability was initiated. Its key task is to lay the foundations for future arms control and risk reduction measures. We are ready to work together on a new “security equation” that takes into account all the factors of strategic stability in their interrelationship. 
It is unacceptable to us that, contrary to the fundamental provisions of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), a number of European countries still have U.S. nuclear weapons on their territories. The flawed practice of “nuclear sharing” involving non-nuclear NATO countries persists and provides a framework for testing actual scenarios for the use of nuclear weapons against Russia. It is high time for U.S. nuclear weapons to be returned home of their possessor and for the associated infrastructure in Europe to be completely dismantled.
We have always believed and continue to believe that a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought. This principle is reiterated in the Joint Statement of the Presidents of the U.S. and Russia of 16 June 2021 and in the Joint Statement of the Heads of State of China and Russia of 28 June 2021. It is important that at the initiative and with the most active participation of Russia, a Joint Statement of the leaders of the five Nuclear-Weapon States on preventing nuclear war and avoiding arms race was adopted on 3 January 2022.
Our country unilaterally undertook not to be the first to deploy systems previously banned by the INF Treaty in regions where no similar American-made means would be deployed in order to ensure predictability and restraint in the missile sphere in the context of the termination of the INF Treaty. We call on the U.S. and its allies to follow our example. I stress in particular that Russia has not possessed and does not possess intermediate-range and shorter-range ground-launched missiles. To argue otherwise would be to create a deliberately false picture and to cover up the actions of those who are really to blame for the destruction of the INF Treaty.
Russia remains open to initiatives for multilateral negotiation formats on the prevention of an arms race and the strengthening of strategic stability. We believe that such ideas should be implemented on the basis of consensus, taking into account the legitimate interests and concerns of all potential participants.
We expect that this year will see the holding of the repeatedly postponed Tenth NPT Review Conference. This Treaty is a key element of international security and strategic stability system. It is essential that the Conference be held in a constructive business-like atmosphere and that at its conclusion the participating States reaffirm their readiness to comply strictly with the commitments they have undertaken. Russia is open to co-operation with all countries for the sake of a successful forum.
We are concerned with the controversial venture of Australia, the UK and the US to create a closed partnership AUKUS. We believe that AUKUS affects negatively the nuclear non-proliferation regime, provokes tensions and creates prerequisites for a new round of the arms race, and not only in the Asia-Pacific region.
We look forward to progress with the entry into force of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT). In this regard, the position of the United States is disappointing. The current U.S. administration has been in office for over a year, but Washington’s previous approach, set out in the 2018 nuclear doctrine stating the refusal to ratify the CTBT, has not yet been revised.
Efforts to restore the full implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action to resolve the situation around the Iranian nuclear program continue. We expect them to be successful. There is no reasonable alternative to the JCPOA. Commitments under the “nuclear deal”, reinforced by UN Security Council Resolution 2231, must be strictly implemented without any reservations. We are compelled to state that the current situation is a clear evidence of how dearly Washington’s inflexibility costs global security. A policy based on pressure and blackmail is absolutely hopeless.
Support is needed for efforts to establish a Middle East zone free of nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction (WMDFZ), as envisaged by the resolution of the 1995 NPT Review and Extension Conference. On the positive side, we have already convened two sessions of the Conference in accordance with the decision adopted in December 2018 by the UN General Assembly. Russia actively participated in the work of these fora as an observer. We look forward to Israel joining this process, as well as the United States, a co-sponsor of the 1995 WMDFZ resolution.
We advocate strengthening the regime of the Convention on the Prohibition of Biological and Toxin Weapons (BTWC). We are determined to work constructively with the aim of effectively holding a BTWC Review Conference. We call on international partners to support Russian initiatives aimed at reinforcing institutional foundations of the Convention.
The state of affairs in the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) is deeply troubling. This is a direct result of the destructive policy promoted by the US and its allies in line with the flawed and harmful concept of “rule-based order”. Western countries have actually “privatized” this technical international structure and submitted it to their geopolitical ambitions. They openly use the Secretariat of the Organization to exert political pressure on “unwanted” governments, against which unsubstantiated accusations are generated. It is in the interest of the international community to do everything possible to prevent the OPCW from turning into a tool for certain states to achieve their reprehensible mercenary goals.
Dear colleagues,
We presume that the Conference is capable of reversing the disastrous trends in the field of arms control, disarmament and non-proliferation, making a significant contribution to strengthening international security and stability. The Russian initiative to develop an international convention to combat acts of chemical and biological terrorism also addresses this problem. Strengthening the international legal framework for combating WMD terrorism serves the interests of all states.
I am sure that, given the political will, the participants of the Conference will be able to overcome the existing divergences and reach mutually acceptable solutions that pave the way to the resumption of negotiations. We expect the Six Presidents of the 2022 session of the Conference to make its contribution.
Thank you.

FULL TEXT: Russia's Foreign Minister's Remarks During A Conference On Disarmament

NATO has said it has no troops in Ukraine and is not planning to send any into the country but the alliance is still activating its “defensive plans” allowing deployments that “cover the whole east of our alliance”.
This comes after Russian President Vladimir Putin <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2022/02/24/ukraines-foreign-minister-putin-launched-full-scale-invasion-well-defend-and-win/">announced a military operation in Ukraine, a non-NATO member, on Thursday 24 February 2022</a> with explosions heard soon after in the capital and other parts of the country.
Putin warned, “Whoever would try to stop us and further create threats, to our people, should know that Russia’s response will be immediate and lead you to such consequences that you have never faced in your history.”
NATO Secretary-General, Jens Stoltenberg told a media conference on Thursday that the alliance will hold a video summit on Friday to discuss the Russian invasion of its pro-Western neighbour. 
On Sunday, Stoltenberg told BBC, “We have no plans to deploy NATO combat troops to Ukraine…we are focusing on providing support. There is a difference between being a NATO member and being a strong and highly valued partner as Ukraine.”
It is the first time the alliance has publicly said it is activating its defence plans, which were drawn up after Russia’s 2014 invasion and annexation of Ukraine’s Crimea peninsula.
Stoltenberg did not give details of them beyond saying they are “defensive plans” allowing deployments that “cover the whole east of our alliance” and which “give our military commanders some more authority within politically defined guidelines”.
He said it would include elements of NATO’s rapid reaction force of 40 000 soldiers, including a highly prepared unit of 7 000 personnel, most of them French, and an air wing under French command.
Stoltenberg said Friday’s summit would also include non-NATO members Sweden and Finland, and EU chiefs Ursula von der Leyen and Charles Michel.
