Kremlin warns US missile use in Ukraine marks significant shift in conflict dynamics
The Kremlin has reacted strongly to U.S. President Joe Biden's decision to allow Ukraine to use U.S.-supplied longer-range missiles. Russia's Foreign Ministry called this a "radical change" in the conflict, suggesting it indicates direct U.S. involvement in military actions against Russia. Biden's authorization marks a significant shift from previous U.S. policy, which had restricted such weapons to avoid escalating tensions with Russia. The change comes amid reports of North Korean troops supporting Russia in the conflict, influencing U.S. strategy. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy acknowledged the development, stating, "The missiles will speak for themselves." Responses to the decision have varied, with some leaders praising it while others express concerns about potential risks.
