A Russian lawmaker calls President Biden's decision to let Ukraine fire U.S. missiles deep into Russia a "very big step toward the beginning" of a third world war.

Summary

The US’s approval for Ukraine to use U.S.-supplied ATACMS missiles, capable of striking targets nearly 200 miles away, marks a significant escalation in Ukraine’s ability to retaliate against Russian aggression.

The move, coming after intense lobbying by Kyiv, allows Ukraine to target Russian positions with more precision and destruction than prior weapons.

Russia has condemned the decision as a provocation risking world war.

Analysts suggest the policy shift, reportedly limited to Russia’s Kursk region, aligns with U.S. efforts to support Ukraine without triggering broader conflict.

    Lmao. Imagine if North Korea would tell Putler that he is not allowed to use their soldiers for offense.

    Russia should have been thankful there were restrictions on the weapons Ukraine received.

    It’s such a baby move.
