Vladimir Putin floated sending long-range weapons around the world to those who want to strike the West.
He made the threat on Wednesday as he spoke to journalists in St. Petersburg.
It was a response to Ukraine's allies allowing it to strike Russian soil with their weapons.

Russian leader Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday he could send long-range weapons to "regions around the world" wanting to strike Western targets after the US and its allies authorized Ukrainian strikes with their arms on Russian soil.
