In a significant development in the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, President Joe Biden’s decision to allow Ukraine to strike inside Russia with long-range missiles supplied by the US has sparked a furious response from Moscow. The move has been described as a “serious escalation” by the Russian government, with President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov warning of increased tensions and US involvement in the conflict.
Speaking to journalists on Monday, Peskov stated that if the decision to allow Ukraine to strike inside Russia has been taken, it signifies a new level of tension and adds fuel to the fire of the ongoing conflict. Russia has strongly criticized the US for its involvement in the region, accusing the Biden administration of stoking tensions by allowing Ukraine to use long-range missiles against Russian targets.
The decision by the US to provide Ukraine with long-range missiles comes amidst reports of Russia deploying North Korean troops to the war zone to fight alongside Russian forces. This move has further escalated the conflict, with the involvement of foreign troops on both sides increasing the risk of further violence in the region.
The situation in Ukraine and Russia remains tense, with both sides showing no signs of backing down. The US’s decision to allow Ukraine to strike inside Russia with long-range missiles has only added to the already volatile situation, with the potential for further escalation and violence. The international community is closely watching the developments in the region, as the conflict continues to unfold.
