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

The Kremlin condemned President Joe Biden's decision to allow Ukraine to use US-made long-range missiles to strike targets in Russia, calling it an "escalation" of the conflict. Moscow warned of a "tangible" response to this change. Biden's move puts pressure on the UK to provide similar support with Storm Shadow missiles. UK Labour leader Keir Starmer indicated a potential shift in policy, emphasizing the need for Ukraine to have necessary resources. In Ukraine, Russian missile strikes killed at least 21 people in recent attacks, including children. Russia continues to advance in eastern Ukraine, while North Korea has sent troops to support Russian forces.
