Vyacheslav Volodin claimed that the European Parliament calling for strikes inside Russia "leads to a world war using nuclear weapons".

A close ally of President Vladimir Putin warned Western governments on Thursday that a nuclear war would ensue if they gave the green light for Ukraine to use long-range Western weapons to strike targets deep inside Russia.

LAST FRIDAY, RUSSIAN PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN threatened that any country supplying Ukraine with long-range missiles capable of striking deep into Russia would be “ at war ” with Russia. Non-coincidentally, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer met President Joe Biden at the White House later that day to discuss providing Kyiv such weapons.
