The Kremlin has said they have had “enough” and they are now “ready to use tactical nuclear weapons” inside Ukraine.
A senior Russian official has said that US weapons which are being used inside Russia means there could now be a war with NATO and the United States, stressing Moscow is “not bluffing.”
The US President Joe Biden has made a significant decision lowering restrictions of the use of American weapons to be used against Russia.
Biden has given Ukraine permission to use US weaponry to strike military targets inside Russia, but this is limited to defend Kharkiv.
Russian Security Council’s Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev warned that “no one can rule out” conflict with the West will escalate to the “last stage.”

He said that any long-range weapon being used inside the Russian Federation by Ukraine will be deemed to be controlled by NATO.
Medvedev said, “This is no military assistance, this is participation in a war against us,” he said.
“And such actions could well become a casus belli [an act that provokes a war].”
“All their military equipment and specialists fighting against us will be destroyed both on the territory of former Ukraine and on the territory of other countries, should strikes be carried out from there against Russian territory,” Medvedev warned.
Medvedev said it will be a “fatal mistake” for the West to believe Russia is not “ready to use tactical nuclear weapons” in Ukraine.
“This is, alas, neither intimidation nor bluffing,” said Medvedev.
“The current military conflict with the West is developing according to the worst possible scenario. There is a constant escalation when it comes to the firepower of NATO weapons being used. Therefore, nobody today can rule out the conflict’s transition to its final stage.”
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, “What we know is that generally, there are already attempts to strike Russian territory with weapons produced by the United States.
“This is enough for us, and it speaks volumes about the degree to which the United States is involved in the conflict.”
Vladimir Putin has been told to think about launching a “demonstrative” nuclear explosion to make the West stop using weapons inside Russia.
The Putin backed thinktank said by creating a “nuclear mushroom cloud” which will be shown live on TV this will have a “psychological effect.”
On Wednesday Dmitry Suslov, a senior member of the Moscow-based Council for Foreign and Defence Policy, wrote, “To confirm the seriousness of Russia’s intentions and to convince our opponents of Moscow’s readiness to escalate, it is worth considering a demonstrative nuclear explosion.
“The political and psychological effect of a nuclear mushroom cloud, which will be shown live on all TV channels around the world, will hopefully remind Western politicians of the one thing that has prevented wars between the great powers since 1945 and that they have now largely lost – fear of nuclear war.”
