Stephane Dujarric, a spokesman for the UN Secretary General, made a big statement after the US and UK allowed Ukraine to use Western weapons to strike deep into Russia. Dujarric said the “rhetoric that we’re hearing is yet another indication that we are not moving towards the end of this conflict.” He also noted that “the increased rhetoric, notably around nuclear weapons, is worrying.” The Russian Permanent Representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, also said NATO will be seen as a direct party to a war.
