Keir Starmer hit back at Putin's chilling warning NATO countries would be at war with Russia if they allow Ukraine to use long-range missiles.
The Russian dictator said allowing Kyiv to use missiles that could strike targets within the Kremlin's territory would change the "nature of the conflict".
"It would mean NATO countries, the US, European countries, are at war with Russia," Putin told a state TV reporter on Thursday.
But as Mr Starmer jetted to Washington on Thursday night for meetings with President Joe Biden, he told reporters: "Russia started this conflict. Russia illegally invaded Ukraine. Russia could end this conflict straight away."
Mr Starmer added: "Ukraine has the right to self defence and we'll obviously be absolutely, fully supportive of Ukraine's right to self defence - providing training capability as you know. We don't seek any conflict with Russia, that's not our intention in the slightest. But they started this conflict and Ukraine's got a right to self defence."
NATO was created by the United States, Canada, and several Western European nations to provide collective security against the Soviet Union. NATO's 30 countries, which include the UK, have a mutual defence pact.
The PM's comments came as he prepared to meet Biden in the Oval Office on Friday...

Starman surrenders ?
Hey Starman, FAFO
This:
“Russia started this conflict. Russia illegally invaded Ukraine. Russia could end this conflict straight away.”
The Political Left - in Canada, UK, and USA - releases violent criminals from prisons, then arrests regime political opponents who commit thought or speech crimes.
Meanwhile, all three regimes are taunting the dictator of Russia, who has the largest stock pile of nuclear weapons in the world.
Have I accidentally confused these events with a made-for-TV movie script?
I get so tired of that worn out lie about this war starting in 2022. The war started in 2014 with CIA overthrow of the Uke government. There are 14,000 dead ethnic Russians who were killed between 2014 and 2022 to prove it.
Welcome to the ‘new’ world........and by the way, just who is in charge in the US, right now and therefore running this mad show....
That’s an administration BS lie you are trafficking. The CIA started this war in 2014. The Uke fascists killed 14,000 ethnic Russians in Ukraine in those eight years of war before ‘22.
Putin finally decided to end the unprovoked Globohomo proxy war against Russia in ‘22.
Stop slinging the admin BS.
Chance are the actual non proxy war between the US and Russia can start any minute. We have no idea who’s calling the shots and even more alarming, the Russians have no idea which idiot in DC is responsible for the CF!
“Chance are the actual non proxy war between the US and Russia can start any minute. We have no idea who’s calling the shots and even more alarming, the Russians have no idea which idiot in DC is responsible for the CF!”
It almost feels like the United States is currently ‘up for grabs’.... and quite deliberately so.
Holding onto that little ray of hope... since God thwarted the bullet, maybe he will keep thwarting those that seek to destroy us.
LOL
The people in charge are either evil or incompetent fools. Which is more frightening?
The Putin has chunks of guys like Two-Tier in his stool.
That’s all you got? What an admin putz. Ever hear of a counterpoint? Globohomo stoogism like this is quickly realized on FR.
Back up your admin lies with some facts. Are you really trying to claim the CIA didn’t overthrow the Uke government in 2024? REALLY?
What about the corrupt oligarchs you seem to support in Kiev and DC impeaching Trump because he turned over the rock underneath which these SAME fascists were divvying up Ukraine in 2019?
“The people in charge are either evil or incompetent fools. Which is more frightening?”
I know them to be evil, but also incompetent. The evil makes them not GAD to even try to be competent. At least, that’s how I see it.
I’m banking on Putin’s forbearance until after election fortnight. Otherwise, this proxy war is probably going surface of sun hot very quickly.
And?
