NATO countries are now discussing not only Kyiv's possible use of Western long-range weapons. They decide whether or not to directly participate in the Ukrainian conflict.

Axar.az reports that Russian President Vladimir Putin said these words in a conversation with journalists.

"Flight missions for these missile systems can be carried out only by military personnel of NATO countries. The Ukrainian military cannot do this. Therefore, it is not a matter of whether or not the Ukrainian regime will allow it to attack Russia with these weapons.

The point is to make a decision: are NATO countries directly involved in a military conflict or not? If this decision is adopted, it will not mean anything other than the direct participation of NATO countries - USA, European countries in the war in Ukraine," the head of state said.
