Kremlin says Biden is ‘fuelling fire’ of Ukraine conflict with missiles decision

Moscow will react to Biden's decision to let Kyiv use longer-range weapons against targets inside Russia, officials say

The Kremlin has said Joe Biden's outgoing administration wants to escalate the conflict in Ukraine by allowing Kyiv to use long-range missiles for strikes inside Russia.

The decision, first reported on Sunday, to allow Ukraine to conduct strikes with US-made weapons deep into sovereign Russian territory has not been formally announced by the White House, but a German government spokesperson said on Monday that Berlin had been informed.
