Russian President Vladimir Putin stated in a televised address that the recent strikes with US-made long-range missiles on Russian territory have escalated the conflict in Ukraine to a global scale.
Putin emphasized that the conflict, originally provoked by the West, has now evolved into a global crisis with far-reaching implications.
Since the missile strikes, the situation in Ukraine has taken a turn for the worse, with global powers becoming directly involved in the conflict.
The escalation of the conflict in Ukraine has raised concerns about the potential for a broader international conflict.
