US Greenlights Ukraine's Use of Long-Range Missiles, Escalating Tensions with Russia

TL;DR Summary
Moscow has warned that the U.S. authorization for Ukraine to use American-made long-range missiles within Russian territory could escalate tensions between the two nations. The Kremlin views this move as a significant increase in Washington's involvement in the Ukraine conflict. The Biden administration's decision to allow the use of ATACMS missiles, which have a range of about 190 miles, marks a shift in policy after previous hesitations. Russia perceives this as an attempt by the U.S. to provoke further escalation in the ongoing conflict.
