The Kremlin has criticised the Biden administration for reportedly approving Ukraine's use of U.S.-made long-range missiles to strike within Russia.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov accused the U.S. of "adding fuel to the fire" and escalating the conflict, suggesting such actions could deepen Western involvement in the war.
Peskov claimed that strikes attributed to Ukraine might actually involve Western military specialists, framing this as the primary risk of the situation. He warned of potential provocations arising from these decisions.
Meanwhile, Ivor Bennett highlighted Russia’s past responses to perceived Western escalations, including threats of supplying weapons to adversaries like Iran or invoking its revised nuclear doctrine.
However, previous "red lines" set by Moscow—such as the deployment of Western tanks, missiles, and jets to Ukraine—did not result in significant escalations, leading to scepticism in Washington about whether these warnings are more bluster than genuine threats.
The central question remains whether these weapons will materially shift dynamics on the battlefield, despite the rising rhetoric from Moscow.
