Houthis may approach Putin and request shore batteries, which can deliver a terrible strike against ships. What if he supplies Houthis with Bastion weapon systems in retaliation of your providing Zelensky with long-range weapons and at least one aircraft carrier sinks? An English one, an American one, and so on. ‘It is unacceptable for us.’ I said I understand it but it is unacceptable for Putin if you supply long-range missiles and attack entire Russia. They agreed that it would indeed be dangerous. ”
