The United States is ready to discuss the expansion of strikes against Russia with Ukraine, the White House has said.

A State Department spokesman said last week that President Joe Biden has allowed Ukraine to use US weapons for counter-battery combat against targets on Russian territory that threaten Kharkov. According to sources in The Wall Street Journal, Washington has authorized the use of GMLRS missile systems, HIMARS MLRS and artillery systems “in the Kharkov region.”

Russian President Vladimir Putin emphasized that representatives of NATO countries must be aware of “what they are playing with” when they talk about plans to allow Kiev to strike targets on Russian territory.

What the Russians are broadcasting in detail:
Moscow talking about "nuclear deterrence" measures,
meaning permanent deployment of nuclear weapons targeting NATO bases across Europe.
“Where are US tactical nukes deployed in Europe?
Currently, about 100 US tactical nuclear weapons (TNW) – intended for battlefield or limited strike use
remain at six bases in five NATO countries in Europe and West Asia, including:
Buchel Air Base in Germany (reported to house 15 TNW)
Kleine Brogel Air Base in Belgium (15 TNW)
Volkel Air Base in the Netherlands (15 TNW)
Aviano & Ghedi Torre Air Bases in Italy (35 TNW)
Incirlik Air Base in Turkey (20 TNW)

Greece, Spain, Bulgaria and Romania belong to the general designation "other NATO countries".

“The US nuclear arsenal in Europe consists of B-61 gravity bombs, designed to be dropped by allied bombers or fighter aircraft.
The B-61 is known to be three times more powerful than the US atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945."

Russians are warning the US and NATO not to place nuclear weapons in European (see Poland, Greece, etc.) and Asian countries, otherwise they will forced to take "nuclear deterrence"
"We will do so if the US goes ahead with plans to deploy short- and medium-range nuclear weapons in new countries that do not currently exist, especially in European countries."

"Russian fighters discovered basements covered with bodies of Ukrainian servicemen in Krynki - confirmed the governor of the Kherson region Saldo.
The head of the region confirmed the complete clearance of the village and also denied false Ukrainian propaganda that the militants had “moved to more convenient positions” in the village of Kozachi Lagerya. A video of a blue and yellow flag on a water tower located at the entrance to the village was cited as evidence.
According to Saldo, the enemy delivered the banner on a quadcopter operated from the right bank of the Dnieper and attached it to the tower using a magnet. Soldiers of the Russian Armed Forces have already got rid of this false symbol of Ukrainian “victory”."

US State Department forced Scott Ritter off plane headed to Russia and confiscated his passport

“As I was boarding my flight out of New York I was pulled aside by three CBP officers, who seized my passport. When asked why, they said orders of the State Department. No further information was provided. My bags were removed from the flight, and I was escorted out of the airport,” the former US Marine intelligence officer told Sputnik.

Ritter was slated to participate in the annual St.Petersburg International Economic Forum as a guest speaker.

“Is this done under the First Amendment to the US Constitution or the Fourth?” Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova asked sarcastically, commenting on ex-US intelligence officer Scott Ritter's removal from his flight to Russia and the confiscation of his passport.

The First Amendment to the US Constitution guarantees, among other things, non-interference with the freedoms of speech and assembly, while the Fourth Amendment prohibits unreasonable searches and detentions.

Earlier today, former US Marine Corps intelligence officer and Sputnik contributor Scott Ritter told Sputnik that US Customs and Border Protection officers seized his passport “by orders” from the State Department as he boarded his flight, preventing him from traveling to Russia for the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.
