Biden approves Ukrainian strikes deep inside Russia with U.S. missiles - NYT | 17 Nov 2024 | Joe Biden has reportedly authorized Ukraine to use long-range American missiles to strike targets inside Russia's pre-2014 borders, according to a New York Times report on Sunday citing anonymous American officials. The decision, if accurately conveyed by the newspaper, marks a major shift in Washington's policy and will raise the stakes in the conflict between Moscow and Kiev. The White House has yet to comment publicly on the matter. The report states that Ukraine is expected to deploy the Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) against Russian forces and alleged North Korean troops in Russia's Kursk Region, where fierce fighting is ongoing... ATACMS missiles can be fired from HIMARS launchers, which Ukraine has had in its arsenal since 2022. Kiev's forces have had ATACMS missiles since April, but have until now been limited to using them on land considered Ukrainian by Washington. ATACMS missiles travel at supersonic speed and have a range of 300 kilometers (190 miles).

Imagine if Mexico attacked the US with missiles supplied by Russia.

Putin issues nuclear warning to the West over strikes on Russia from Ukraine | 25 Sept 2024 | President Vladimir Putin warned the West on Wednesday that Russia could use nuclear weapons if it was struck with conventional missiles, and that Moscow would consider any assault on it supported by a nuclear power to be a joint attack. The decision to change Russia's official nuclear doctrine is the Kremlin's answer to deliberations in the United States and Britain about whether or not to give Ukraine permission to fire conventional Western missiles into Russia. Putin, opening a meeting of Russia's Security Council, said that the changes were in response to a swiftly changing global landscape which had thrown up new threats and risks for Russia. "It is proposed that aggression against Russia by any non-nuclear state, but with the participation or support of a nuclear state, be considered as their joint attack on the Russian Federation," Putin said.
