Escalating Tensions Over Missile Strikes

The situation in Ukraine has intensified with discussions around potential long-range missile strikes into Russian territory, particularly regarding the Storm Shadow missiles. Biden's administration is faced with the choice of whether to authorize Britain to assist Ukraine in these missile strikes, which could be perceived as crossing a serious red line established by Russia. Putin has issued strong warnings to the West, indicating that involvement of Western technicians in these missile operations could be seen as direct military engagement against Russia, leading to potential acts of war. The implications of this move could drastically alter the landscape of the conflict, with Western officials divided on the potential consequences and the gravity of Russia's response.
