The Kremlin has expressed strong disapproval of US President Joe Biden's decision to permit Ukraine to use long-range American missiles in Russia, with spokesperson Dmitry Peskov accusing the Biden administration of escalating the conflict in Ukraine. Peskov stated that the decision to provide Ukraine with such weaponry could lead to a new level of tension in the region.
Russian President Vladimir Putin had previously outlined Russia's stance on the matter during a meeting in St. Petersburg, where he warned that allowing Ukraine to use American weapons against Russia would signify direct involvement of NATO countries in the conflict. Putin emphasized that such a move would essentially mean that NATO countries, including the US and European nations, would be at war with Russia.
