Kremlin warns of escalation as Biden may allow Ukraine to strike deep into Russia with US missiles
The Kremlin has reacted to reports that the Biden administration may allow Ukraine to use US-supplied long-range missiles against Russia. Spokesman Dmitry Peskov warned this could escalate the conflict significantly, marking a new stage in U.S. involvement. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky suggested that confirmation of this authorization will be evident on the battlefield. He emphasized that long-range capabilities are crucial for Ukraine's military strategy, despite some analysts doubting the impact of this decision. U.S. political figures, including Donald Trump Jr. and Representative Thomas Massie, criticized the potential escalation, calling it an unconstitutional act of war. Meanwhile, some analysts believe the Kremlin may hold off on a severe response until after Donald Trump takes office.
