The Kremlin accused the United States of adding “fuel to the fire” to the war in Ukraine by authorize long-range missile attacks against Russian territory through Kyiv.
“It is obvious that In the United States, the outgoing administration intends to continue to add fuel to the fire and continue to provoke an escalation of tensions around this conflict,” said Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov.
He stressed that if it is confirmed that the West has given kyiv the green light, this will mean “qualitatively a new phase of tension and a new situation regarding the involvement of the United States in the conflict. Putin has already explained this with crystal clarity. These attacks are not carried out by Ukraine, but by countries that authorize it,” he said.
However, this new position adopted by Joe Biden was not well received by the rest of Ukraine’s partners. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is the most reluctant about a possible attack on Russian territory.which conditioned the delivery of weapons to their use only on Ukrainian territory.
Other allies, such as France, allow Ukraine to attack bases on Russian territory, but only those located in border areas. Today, the United States authorized Zelensky to strike in the Ukrainian-occupied Kursk region, marking a significant paradigm shift in the war. However, No country wants this offensive to get out of control and Ukraine ends up attacking Moscow..
