DUBAI, November 23. /TASS/. The US and other NATO states have entered a full-fledged war against Moscow after their missiles were used for strikes on Russia’s borderline Kursk and Bryansk regions, Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev said in an interview with Al Arabiya.

According to him, the alliance is "fully engaged" in the Ukrainian conflict.

Speaking of strikes on Russia with Western weapons, Medvedev emphasized that these actions will not remain unanswered.

Russian President Vladimir Putin pointed out on November 21 that US-and UK-made missiles had targeted military facilities in the Kursk and Bryansk regions following a move by the US and its NATO allies to authorize the use of their long-range weapons for strikes against Russia. According to Putin, in retaliation to the attacks, Russia for the first time used its newest Oreshnik non-nuclear intermediate-range ballistic missiles against Ukraine’s Yuzhmash defense industry facility in Dnepropetrovsk (called Dnepr in Ukraine). The Russian leader emphasized that the West could face dire consequences if its provocative policy escalated the conflict further.
