MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Allowing Kiev to strike deep into Russia with West-supplied weapons directly involves NATO countries in the conflict, Russian President Vladimir Putin has previously said.

The Russian Defense Ministry said on Saturday that it would respond to the attempt by the Ukrainian armed forces to strike Russia's Belgorod Region with ATACMS missiles.

"On January 3, the Kiev regime attempted to deliver a missile strike by US-made ATACMS operational-tactical missiles at the Belgorod region. In the course of an air defense battle, S-400 SAM [surface-to-air missile] system and Pantsir-SM crews shot down all the ATACMS missiles. These actions of the Kiev regime supported by Western curators won’t go unanswered," the ministry said in a statement.

The Ukrainian forces first struck with six ATACMS ballistic missiles at the Russian Bryansk region on November 19, the Russian Defense Ministry reported.

On November 17, US President Joe Biden authorized Ukraine to strike deep into Russia with American-made missiles ATACMS, the New York Times reported, citing unnamed representatives of the US administration.
