Summary
The U.S. has approved Ukraine’s use of long-range ATACMS missiles to strike inside Russia, drawing sharp criticism from Russian officials, who warn of serious escalation and even invoke fears of World War III.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov condemned the move as a “new spiral of tension,” while Vladimir Putin has yet to comment.
Putin previously warned such actions could be seen as NATO’s direct involvement in the war.
As Biden’s term ends, speculation rises about how Trump’s more cautious stance on Ukraine aid might influence Moscow’s next steps.
It’s not them that “fear” WW3. Well, they are scared shitless of it of course. But the “WW3” is a scaremongering tactic that kremlin trolls use all the time. That and the “okay you go to trenches and fight!!!” terminating cliche. You can tell someone is a paid bot when the first thing they do is say this shit.
