US and UK Decision on Long-Range Missiles
There are strong indications that the US and UK will lift restrictions on Ukraine's use of long-range missiles against targets within Russia, a move that could escalate NATO's involvement in the conflict. President Putin has warned that such a decision would signify direct participation from NATO countries and fundamentally change the nature of the war. Discussions surrounding this topic highlight the tension it creates, as Russia has retaliated by revoking the accreditation of British diplomats, accusing them of espionage. Observers are concerned about the implications this may have for ongoing diplomatic relations and the potential for increased hostilities.
