Tensions between Russia and NATO are escalating as Russian President Vladimir Putin accuses NATO countries of potentially engaging directly in the Ukraine conflict.

Putin suggests that discussions about allowing Ukraine to use long-range weapons on Russian territory could lead to NATO's direct involvement in the war.

This development comes amid Russia's recent military actions, including the reconquest of ten villages in the Kursk region and the downing of a Russian plane over the Black Sea.

Meanwhile, the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs has listed Rai journalist Stefania Battistini and her cameraman as wanted, accusing them of illegal entry into Russian territory.

This move has sparked international concern over press freedom.

Additionally, the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has condemned a Russian missile attack on a grain cargo ship in the Black Sea, emphasizing the importance of Ukraine's role in global food security.

The international community is urged to respond to these aggressive actions, as the conflict continues to impact global stability.
