WWIII: Biden Authorizes Ukraine to Use U.S. Long-Range Missiles to Target Inside Russia.
Defiant President Joe Biden authorized Ukraine to use U.S.-provided long-range missiles on Russian territory after vowing to rush funding for the foreign country before he left office.
The sudden policy change comes just weeks before President-elect Donald Trump will assume office.
āIt is obvious that the outgoing administration in Washington intends to take steps to continue adding fuel to the fire and continue to provoke tension around this conflict,ā Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said earlier on Monday.
In Moscow, meanwhile, senior lawmaker Leonid Slutsky slammed Mr. Biden, accusing him of deciding āto end his presidential term and go down in history as āBloody Joeā.ā Putin threatens to use nuclear weapons on West if Russia is attacked
Ukraine fires first barrage of US-made long-range missiles into Russia, Kremlin says
President Biden gave Ukraine permission to use the weapons on Russian soil
Moscow says Ukrainian forces have taken advantage of President Bidenās green light and launched 6 U.S.-made ATACMS (Army Tactical Missile Systems) into Russian territory Tuesday.
Russia says it shot down five of the missiles and damaged the sixth. It added that debris landed in the area of a Russian military facility, but that no casualties or damage beyond a small fire. A U.S. official confirmed the overnight strike to Fox News.
The attack came just two days after President Biden approved Ukraine to use American long-range missiles on Russian soil, an escalation that Russian President Putin previously indicated would be an act of war.
This one of the few good things Biden has done finally .RASPUTRID will not risk using tactical nukes because he knows what the response will be.He uses threats to have the West backoff its support of Ukraine.He needs to be grabbed by the shirt and slapped.
