Russia weighs response to Ukraine's use of American missiles
Russia is uncertain about how to respond to Ukraine's use of American long-range missiles against its territory. President Vladimir Putin previously indicated that a response would depend on the situation, but specifics remain unclear. The U.S. has now allowed Ukraine to use ATACMS missiles, marking a significant shift in Washington's approach. This decision comes as Ukraine faces potential changes in U.S. support with the upcoming presidential transition. Historically, striking targets inside Russia has been avoided to prevent escalating tensions. However, Ukraine has challenged this notion, suggesting that crossing Moscow's red lines may not lead to catastrophic consequences.
