Kremlin condemns Biden's missile decision as escalation in Ukraine conflict

The Kremlin condemned President Biden's decision to allow Ukraine to use longer-range U.S. missiles, calling it an "escalation" of the conflict. Moscow warned that this could lead to a significant response. Biden's move puts pressure on the UK to provide similar support, with Labour leader Keir Starmer indicating a potential shift in policy. UK officials are considering aligning with allies to enhance Ukraine's military capabilities. In Ukraine, recent Russian missile strikes killed at least 21 people, including children, and caused significant damage. Russia continues to advance in eastern Ukraine, intensifying its attacks on civilian areas.
