The threat comes amid heightened tensions between Russia and Ukraine following a Ukrainian incursion into Russia’s Kursk region.

Ukraine launched a cross-border operation in the Kursk region earlier this week, prompting a strong response from Russia, which declared a counter-terrorism operation in the area. While Ukraine has not officially confirmed its involvement, Russia claims to have repelled the attack.

The incident has escalated tensions between the two countries and drawn international attention. The U.S. has expressed support for Ukraine’s actions, while Russia has accused the West of backing aggression.

 As the situation develops, fears of a wider conflict continue to grow. (ILKHA)
