Russia Reacts to US Letting Ukraine Strike Within Its Borders

UkraineMon Nov 18 2024
President Joe Biden's recent decision to allow Ukraine to use U. S. -supplied long-range missiles to strike targets inside Russia has sparked strong reactions worldwide. This move comes just days before the war hits the 1, 000-day mark. Meanwhile, Russian attacks on Ukrainian residential areas continue, with a recent missile strike in Sumy killing 11 and injuring 84. The change in U. S. policy follows reports of North Korean troops in Russia, possibly assisting the Russian army. Moscow has warned that this shift could drastically escalate the conflict, as President Vladimir Putin previously stated that it might mean NATO is at war with Russia. Some Western allies see this as a positive step, while others remain cautious. The implications of this policy change are far-reaching and create a new level of uncertainty in the ongoing conflict.
