Russian officials have warned Joe Biden he is adding fuel to the fire by giving Ukraine long-range rockets.
The US President has agreed to give Volodymyr Zelensky advanced rockets that can target Russian targets as part of a £550million weapons package.
Washington is already supplying Ukraine with high mobility artillery rocket systems that can accurately hit targets up to 50 miles away after Ukraine gave "assurances" they will not use the missiles to strike inside Russia, senior administration officials said.
