Russia warns Biden's missile decision could spark world war

Russia has reacted strongly to President Biden's recent decision to allow Ukraine to use U.S.-made ATACMS missiles to strike deeper into Russian territory. Russian lawmakers warned this move could lead to a third world war, marking a significant escalation in the conflict. Previously, Ukraine had limited its attacks inside Russia to less powerful weapons. The new policy allows for long-range strikes, which could enhance Ukraine's ability to target Russian military assets before they are launched. This shift comes amid ongoing Russian missile attacks on Ukrainian cities, resulting in civilian casualties. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy welcomed the change, emphasizing the importance of military action over words. However, he acknowledged that the incoming U.S. administration under President-elect Trump may shift focus towards negotiating a truce rather than supporting Ukraine's territorial defense.
