Russia's Foreign Ministry said on Thursday that if the United states decides to supply Kyiv with longer-range missiles for U.S.-made HIMARS systems in use by Ukraine it would cross a "red line" and become "a party to the conflict".
ℹ Russia has set repeated "red lines", and done exactly nothing when NATO has run over them, because it is not capable of doing anything.

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that the alliance's stocks of weapons and other military equipment are being depleted by supplies to Ukraine.
According to Stoltenberg, NATO needs to increase production in these areas to replenish stocks.
Thus, Germany has already stated that it has reached the limit of its ability to supply Kyiv with weapons from its presence, and the United States is actively entering into contracts with arms manufacturers to replenish its own warehouses.
