To paraphrase a famous line from a film: this will quickly spin out of control...

"Biden authorized Ukraine's first use of U.S.-supplied long-range missiles to strike Russian territory," the statement said.
It is noted that this decision signifies a significant shift in US foreign policy and the current head of the White House made it two months before the inauguration of US President-elect Donald Trump, who had previously announced his intention to limit support for Ukraine.
According to sources, Biden's move is connected with information about the alleged presence of DPRK forces in the Kursk region, which "caused the need to strengthen the defense of the Ukrainian military."
As reported by the Regnum news agency, on November 11, the press secretary of the Russian president Dmitry Peskov stated that Russia will continue the special military operation in Ukraine and will achieve all the set goals, even if the Kiev regime is allowed to strike with Western long-range weapons deep into Russian territory. He emphasized that the dynamics of the development of the special operation are well understood and no supplies of individual types of weapons to Ukraine will be able to change it.
The head of the Kiev regime, Volodymyr Zelensky, has repeatedly called for Ukraine to be allowed to strike deep into Russian territory. Russian President Vladimir Putin noted on September 12 that this was in fact about the direct involvement of NATO countries in the Ukrainian conflict, since only NATO military personnel can enter flight assignments into Western long-range missile systems. Putin warned that Moscow would take retaliatory measures taking into account the threats that would arise.Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova warned that if NATO allows the Ukrainian army to strike deep into Russia, Moscow will regard this as the alliance countries actually entering into a direct armed conflict. The consequences will be devastating for NATO countries, she noted.
