Russian lawmakers warn Biden's missile decision could escalate to World War III

Russian lawmakers criticized U.S. President Joe Biden's decision to allow Ukraine to use American long-range missiles against Russian targets. They warned this could escalate tensions and potentially lead to World War III, marking a significant shift in U.S. policy. Previously, the U.S. had been cautious about escalating the conflict. Now, Ukraine can use U.S.-made Atacms rockets, which have a range of 190 miles. This change follows concerns about North Korean troops supporting Russia. Russian officials stated that this decision would provoke a strong response. They emphasized that strikes into Russian territory would escalate the conflict significantly. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed the news, stating that actions would speak louder than words.
