BULLETIN: Russia has now issued a DIRECT warning to the United States and to NATO "If Western weapons are used to strike deep inside Russia, the consequences will affect both sides of the Atlantic."

The direct warning was HAND DELIVERED by Diplomatic Courier, to the White House.

This comes after Ukraine began using west-supplied weapons to attack targets slightly over 1,000km into interior Russia, and after U.S. said THIS WEEK "we are near to an agreement to provide Ukraine with long-range cruise missiles capable of reaching deep into Russian territory."

This is a quickly-developing story. Check back for updates.
