Kremlin warns of Ukraine's destruction amid U.S. support for long-range weapons

Russian officials reacted strongly to reports that the U.S. may allow Ukraine to use long-range missiles against targets in Russia. They claim this decision escalates the conflict and threatens Ukraine's sovereignty. Kremlin spokespersons stated that Ukraine must be "destroyed" if it continues to receive support for strikes on Russian territory. They argue that NATO involvement is increasing and that Ukraine is becoming a military threat to Russia. The Kremlin also dismissed a peace proposal from Turkey to halt hostilities. Meanwhile, the UK has not confirmed whether it will allow its missiles to be used against Russian targets, emphasizing the need for operational secrecy.
