Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu said on Tuesday that Ukraine was planning to launch HIMARS and Storm Shadow missile strikes on Russian territory, including Crimea, and warned that Russia would immediately respond.
"The use of these missiles outside the area of the special military operation would mean a full-scale involvement of the United States and Britain in the conflict and would lead to immediate strikes against decision-making centers in Ukraine", Shoigu said.
Russsian Defense Minister also added that Ukrainian forces have launched 263 attacks against Russian positions since early June, and all of them have been repelled.
