According to Reuters, Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov expressed readiness to expand the “buffer zone” in Ukraine in response on the possible receipt by Ukraine of ATACMS missiles of a longer range from the United States.
This information was reported by the above-mentioned publication, reports URA-Inform.
These missiles will allow Ukraine to deliver deeper strikes inside Russia . The Kremlin, in turn, perceives the potential supply of this type of weapons to Ukraine as an action that threatens Russia's national security.
Peskov stressed that if missiles of a larger radius are received by Ukraine, Russia will be forced to take measures to expand its ” buffer zone” on the territory of Ukraine.
Such statements indicate increasing tension and growing concern on the part of Russia about the possible strengthening of Ukraine's military potential.
It is known that the term “buffer zone” means an area adjacent to the Russian border, which is considered strategically important for ensuring the country's security. The expansion of this zone in Ukraine may include strengthening Russia's military presence on the border, deploying additional weapons and increasing military activity.
