Putin Doesn't Believe Ukraine's Promise, Says Kyiv Could Attack Russia Using MLRS Weapons From West

TRIBUN-VIDEO.COM - Russian President Vladimir Putin doubts Ukraine's guarantee that it will not attack the Kremlin if it gets MLRS weapons from the West.

Putin spoke, this has nothing to do with trust or distrust.

But if Ukraine invaded Russian territory, Putin promised a more violent counterattack.

TASS reported on Sunday (06/05/2022) that according to Putin, the supply of US weapons to Ukraine has actually stretching out the conflict.

US President Joe Biden previously agreed to send Ukraine a HIMARS (High Mobility Artillery Rocket System) or MLRS rocket system with a range of 80 km.

The Russian leader pointed out that the range ‘depended on rockets that are used and not on the system itself."

He also commented on Kiev’s alleged assurances for the West that these rocket systems would not be used against the territory of Russia.

Putin doubts Ukraine's promise to the West.

Because Ukraine could attack Russian territory using new weapons from the West or other weapons.

He said this had nothing to do with trust or distrust of the Ukrainian regime as it depends on the types of rockets America will supply.

He added, if long-range rockets are supplied to Kiev, Russia will draw conclusions and strike those facilities that currently remain unaffected.

"If it now comes to rockets and they are supplied, we will draw conclusions from that and employ our weapons that we have in sufficient quantities to strike those facilities that we are not attacking so far," the head of state warned.

The US administration announced on June 1 that it would provide a new military aid package to Ukraine that would include the delivery of HIMARS (High Mobility Artillery Rocket System) weapons and ammunition.

US officials earlier said that the strike range of a light HIMARS wheeled rocket launcher would not exceed 80 km.

As the US administration insisted, Kiev gave assurances that the US rocket systems would not be used against targets on Russian territory.
