What impact can Iran's ballistic missile systems have on Russia's war in Ukraine? | DW News

The United States, Britain, France and Germany said on Tuesday that Iran had transferred short-range ballistic missiles to Russia for use in Ukraine and that fresh sanctions would swiftly follow as a result. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken made the announcement during a visit to London at a press conference with his British counterpart, David Lammy.

"Russia has now received shipments of these ballistic missiles and will likely use them within weeks in Ukraine, against Ukrainians," Blinken said. "The supply of Iranian missiles enables Russia to use more of its arsenal for targets that are further from the front line." Blinken and Lammy are set to travel on to Kyiv on Wednesday. The governments of France, Britain and Germany issued a joint statement condemning the alleged transfer of missiles, calling it "an escalation by both Iran and Russia," and "a direct threat to European security."

I don't understand, so the whole of the West can deliver weaponry to Ukraine, but nobody can deliver weaponry to Russia? And anyway, who was it that drove Russia into the open arms of Iran if not NATO's creep ever eastwards?
