Russia's spy chief warns West of dire consequences from military conflict

Russia's spy chief warned the West against direct military conflict, stating it could lead to disastrous consequences. This follows the U.S. decision to allow Ukraine to use American missiles to strike into Russia, which Moscow criticized. President Putin has lowered the threshold for a nuclear strike in response to conventional attacks. Russia claims Ukraine used U.S. missiles to target Russian territory, suggesting U.S. involvement in the strikes. The U.S. embassy in Kyiv closed due to threats of a significant air attack. Meanwhile, Russia continues to control large areas of Ukraine and remains committed to its military objectives.
