the reasoning would have been sound with an enemy other than russia and a timeframe of a month or so. 3 fucking years was an act of cruelty that acted as a preview for the indifference to the horrors in Gaza
It’s the old “guns don’t kill people, people kill people issue”. If a nation gives Ukraine long range weapons, are they responsible if Ukraine uses them on long range targets? Russia would argue yes. Russia wants to use the threat of wider conflict to deter nations from helping Ukraine.

This assumes Russia needs facts to back up their rhetoric. They do not.
