US President Joe Biden has given the green light for Ukraine to use long-range missiles supplied by the US to strike Russia.
Recall that Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has been urging that the restrictions on the missiles, known as ATACMS, be lifted – allowing Kyiv to strike outside its own borders.
On Sunday, Biden reacted to the reports stating that such things are not announced and that missiles speak for themselves.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has previously warned Western nations against such a move, saying it would represent the Nato military alliance’s “direct participation” in the Ukraine war.
Zelensky was yet to comment on Sunday’s reports although other senior Kremlin politicians described it as a serious escalation.
