Kremlin accuses Biden of escalating tensions with missile approval for Ukraine strikes in Russia

The Kremlin has criticized President Joe Biden for reportedly approving the use of U.S.-made missiles by Ukraine to strike targets in Russia. Spokesman Dmitry Peskov called this a dangerous escalation and accused the U.S. of increasing tensions in the conflict. Biden's approval allows Ukraine to target the Russian region of Kursk with long-range missiles. Peskov stated that this decision marks a significant change in U.S. involvement in the conflict, which Russia views as provocative. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized the importance of long-range capabilities for Ukraine's military strategy. He noted that while there has been media speculation about missile strikes, actual actions will speak for themselves.
