A Russian MP has told Parliament on Tuesday that they will respond using “more powerful weapons” as the US and UK are discussing strikes on Russia using long-range Storm Shadow cruise missiles.
State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin issued a warning to NATO that they will be “completely involved in this conflict.”
He told Russian MPs, “Today, the US does not hesitate to discuss the possibility of strikes on the territory of Russia. What do such strikes imply? Satellite clusters belong to the United States and to NATO countries.
“Targeting and command execution will in this case be performed in conjunction with satellite clusters by NATO personnel. This means that NATO is being completely involved in this conflict.”

Volodin warned that the US and UK discussions could lead to the “most terrible consequences” and that using ATACMS or cruise missiles will end up with more powerful weapons which “are kept ready.”
He insisted, “This discussion can lead to the most terrible consequences. They are discussing strikes on our peaceful cities, and they are discussing this while thinking that it will not affect them. This is not so.
“We will retaliate. We have the means of retaliation. More powerful weapons are kept ready.
“[The incumbent United States President Joe] Biden, who is already gone, having quit the election race, [German Chancellor Olaf] Scholz, who has practically lost everywhere and his future as a politician is equal to nothing, and [France’s President Emmanuel] Macron, whose citizens also did not support him, today may provoke a conflict that will entail irreversible consequences.
“We, for our part, must do everything to prevent this,” Volodin said.
Volodin said that Vladimir Putin is “doing everything” he can to “stop a nuclear catastrophe” and prevent “war that may escalate into a world war.”
He added, “I would like the politicians of European countries to understand where the leaders who do not have the support of their people are steering them.”
