Russia's Deputy Security Council Chairman Dmitry Medvedev has said that if Ukraine attacks Russian sites and territory with "these weapons", Russian forces will have no choice but to retaliate, hitting Ukrainian command centers.

HIMARS missile systems are a significant threat to Russia's defense lines due to their large range.
