Kremlin announced today that if the US really authorized Ukraine, as world agencies and western media wrote, to strike with long-range American missiles deep into Russian territory, this will raise tensions and draw Washington deeper into this conflict, Reuters reported.
Yesterday, Reuters reported, citing two US representatives, that President Joe Biden allowed Ukraine to fire ATAKMS tactical ballistic missiles (with a range of 300 kilometers) at targets on the territory of Russia.
Biden's government, with two months remaining in office before US presidential election winner Donald Trump returns to the White House, is "adding fuel to the fire" and aims to escalate the conflict in Ukraine, said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, quoted by Reuters.
"If such a solution has indeed been formulated and brought to the knowledge of the Kiev regime, then of course this is a qualitatively new cycle of tension and a qualitatively new situation in terms of the involvement of the United States in this conflict" , said Peskov, quoted by TASS.
