In free English, the following is the rewritten blog section: The latest threat from the Kremlin has been issued as a response to the decision by the United States and its European allies to permit Ukraine to utilize their weapons to attack some Russian territory. In this warning, the Russian leader cautioned against increased support for Kyiv. Furthermore, he claimed that it was an incorrect assumption on the part of Washington and its partners to presume that he would never employ nuclear weapons.

President Joe Biden stated on Thursday that Putin is a "dictator" who has worried him for 40 years. He also acknowledged the challenges Putin faces trying to manage both internal pressures and the military campaign.

However, Biden made it clear that the United States didn't permit Ukraine to use American arms to launch an attack that would reach far into Russia and aim for Moscow or the Kremlin directly.

On Wednesday, the leader of Russia made new threats during a meeting with the heads of international news agencies at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. The threats were related to the recent lifting of restrictions on Kyiv after the Russian government's latest attack on the Kharkiv border area.

Putin has suggested that if anyone plans to supply weapons to a war zone to attack Russia's territory and cause havoc for the nation, then Russia should have the opportunity to provide the same type of weapons to other areas of the world from where the attacks originate against Russia. Putin believes that Russia has the right to engage in symmetrical action by providing similar weapons to regions where sensitive targets of the countries that are a threat to Russia are located. Putin has stated that he will consider this action in the future.

In essence, if we notice that these nations are getting involved in a conflict with us, and this equates to them taking part directly in the war against Russia, then we have the option to react similarly. However, overall, this decision could lead to severe complications.

At first, it wasn't evident which specific parts of the globe he intended to provide the missiles to.

During the daily briefing on Thursday, the spokesperson for the Kremlin, Dmitry Peskov, declined to reveal the areas that President Putin had in mind. Putin made a statement expressing his thoughts and sent a definitive message that the act of providing weapons to launch attacks within Russia will not go unnoticed according to Peskov.

Last week, Putin cautioned NATO member states in Europe about the decision to grant Ukraine authorization to use their weapons to attack Russia. He emphasized that this was a dangerous action that could potentially escalate into a worldwide conflict.

Up until now, Ukraine's friends have hesitated to permit their weapons to take action inside Russia, due to concerns about Moscow's reprisal. However, Moscow's latest offensive that crossed borders increased the pressure for a different approach, leaving Kyiv feeling disadvantaged and growingly dissatisfied.

Earlier this week, Ukraine hinted that it had launched an initial attack on Russia employing weapons from the West. The alleged target of the strike was the air defense system in the border region of Belgorod.

When questioned about the potential causes of a nuclear conflict and the likelihood of it occurring, Putin stated that Russia is frequently blamed for brandishing a "nuclear stick," despite the fact that he did not initiate the discussion.

However, he mentioned that in the event of a threat to its sovereignty and territorial integrity, Russia has the right to use any available measures as stated in the country's nuclear doctrine - a set of guidelines that define the circumstances in which nuclear weapons can be deployed.

Putin stated that the West has a belief that Russia will not make use of it for an unknown reason.

"You cannot treat this flippantly or without serious consideration," he remarked.

Putin has been warning that Russia's powerful nuclear weapons could be used since it became clear that Kyiv's allies from the West would not abandon the war-torn country and would provide military equipment, which ultimately extended the time of the operation that Putin thought would be quick.

When questioned about Putin's recent remarks during an interview in Normandy, France, Biden expressed that the Russian head had been a source of worry for him for four decades.

During an interview with ABC News on Thursday, Biden expressed that the person in question is not a respectable individual, but rather a dictator. Furthermore, he is endeavoring to maintain control over his nation while simultaneously perpetuating this ongoing attack.

Biden stated that they're not discussing providing arms for attacking Moscow or the Kremlin. Rather, the proposal is to allow Ukraine to retaliate against Russian-backed attacks just along the border where they're under heavy fire from conventional weaponry. These weapons are utilized by the Russians to invade Ukraine and cause harm to its people.

Although Ukraine has been forced to delay receiving new shipments of weapons from the United States, they have still been able to impede the advancement of Russian forces and hinder their ground offensive in the northeast region. Currently, Kyiv is advocating for their allies to decrease the limitations on their usage of weapons, allowing them to take aim at targets further into enemy territory.

This week, Joe Biden is set to have a meeting with Ukraine's leader, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, while they both are in France to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the D-Day event.

During a speech held at the American Cemetery and Memorial in Colleville-sur-Mer to commemorate the D-Day anniversary, Biden made a clear comparison between the previous battle fought by the allies against Nazi Germany and the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia.

The battle between authoritarianism and liberty is never-ending. An obvious illustration exists here in Europe. Ukraine has been conquered by a cruel leader who aims to be in control. It is crucial that we do not neglect what has happened here and let it fade away over time. We need to keep it in our memories, grant it respect, and carry it with us into the future.

He mentioned that the assurance of democracy is never certain.
