Vladimir Putin is considering placing missiles within range of Britain and other Western allies in response to new rules allowing Ukraine to fire Nato weapons into Russia.
The Russian president said he could respond “in kind” by deploying his weapons to allies closer to Europe and the US in a threat with echoes of the Cuban Missile Crisis.
In a heated interview – in which he also dismissed as “bo---cks” Russia’s threat to Nato – Putin said that Ukraine using Western weapons inside Russia for the first time “marks their direct involvement” in a war with Russia.
