Now authorized by President Biden to use American missiles to directly target Russia, Ukraine is determined to attack from the other side of its borders. In your opinion, does this mean an escalation of the conflict?
It is now established, Ukraine has authorization from Joe Biden to target Russian territory using its long-range missiles. These American-made long-range “surface-to-surface MGM-140 ATACMS” weapons needed the approval of Joe Biden to be launched on enemy territory.
A risk of escalation for NATO?
As BFMTV reports, if kyiv had authorization to use these missiles only for defensive purposes in the territories annexed by Russia or in Crimea, the country will now be able to use American missiles to attack Russia itself. According to the information available on this type of weaponry, the new missiles, close to the speed of sound, could hit targets located 300 kilometers away.
Already delivered to Ukraine in October 2023 although they were not as efficient, these missiles had caused the ire of Russian leaders. Indeed, Vladimir Putin himself had warned the United States by denouncing “a serious mistake” Americans. A firing authorization would thus mean, according to the Kremlin, that “NATO countries are at war with Russia”.
