Kremlin criticizes Biden's missile decision for Ukraine as reckless

The Kremlin has criticized the Biden administration's reported decision to allow Ukraine to use Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) to strike deep into Russian territory. Russia claims this move could escalate U.S. involvement in the conflict. Russian officials have warned that such actions would increase the risk of confrontation with NATO. They argue that Western support for Ukraine's long-range strikes would necessitate NATO military involvement, which could lead to a direct conflict. Putin has altered Russia's nuclear doctrine, stating that any conventional attack on Russia supported by a nuclear power could be viewed as a joint attack. He has indicated that Russia is preparing responses to potential U.S. assistance for Ukraine's long-range strikes.
