PUTIN: we will hit American cities if Russian cities are attacked by US missiles
#Putin has said that he will retaliate against u.s cities if us missiles hit #Russian cities..
#Biden once said this was a RED line he would not cross.
Putin said: “If this decision is made, it will mean nothing other than the direct participation of NATO countries - the United States, European countries - in the war in Ukraine.
“This is their direct participation and this already, of course, significantly changes the very essence, the very nature of the conflict.
“This would mean that NATO countries - the United States and European countries - are at war with Russia.
“And if that is the case then, bearing in mind the change in the very essence of this conflict, we will take appropriate decisions based on the threats that will be posed to us.”
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Foreign Secretary David Lammy suggested in a visit to Kyiv on Wednesday that Putin had already escalated the war by seeking missiles from Iran.
