UN Envoy Warns NATO Of Risk Of 'Direct War w/Russia'

RUSSIA
EM BulletHomepagemarkets-real-timePolitical RiskCommoditiesPolitical Risk BulletEnergy BulletsBulletEmerging Market News

Wires carrying comments from Russia's representative to the United Nations Vasily Nebenzya, who tells the Security Council that if the West allows Ukraine to conduct long-range strikes by Ukraine against Russia then NATO states would be 'conducting direct war with Russia'. Nebenzya: 'NATO will be a direct party to hostilities against a nuclear power. I think you shouldn't forget about this and think about the consequences'.

  • The comments build on those from President Vladimir Putin on 12 Sep that warned of a 'significant change' in the conflict if the West allows Ukraine to launch long-range missile attacks on sites in the Russian Federation (see 'SECURITY: Biden Meets Starmer As Putin Warns Of 'Significant Change' In Conflict', 0822BST).
  • This is not the first time that Russian officials have issued such warnings about nuclear escalation. As such for the West Putin's red lines on the conflict remain a 'known unknown' in that NATO is aware that it does not know at what point its support for Ukraine would tip Russia into major retaliatory action against the alliance directly.
