Today the war between Russia and Ukraine has completed one thousand days. Meanwhile, according to the AP report, the Russian army has claimed that Ukraine has fired six US ATACMS missiles on the Bryansk region of Russia at night. Recently, US President Biden had approved Ukraine to use long-range supersonic missiles i.e. Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) to attack inside Russia. According to media reports, Ukraine had used ATACMS earlier as well, but this use was limited to border areas.
Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council and a close aide of Putin, condemned the US decision to allow Ukraine to fire missiles. Dmitry warned of a third world war. He said that the missiles fired against Russia would be considered an attack. In response, Russia can take action against Ukraine and NATO bases. This means that the time has come for the Third World War.
This is a ground-to-ground ballistic missile, which can hit targets up to 300 kilometers away. Due to its long range, this missile can prove to be a game changer for Ukraine.
The Russian government expressed strong displeasure over this decision of America and said in its statement that it is natural that the outgoing US government wants to provoke war. The Russian government said that ‘President Putin had made it clear in September itself that the use of missiles against Russia would mean a war between Russia and NATO. Ukraine’s use of long-range missiles would mean that America has directly joined this war. After this we will also take necessary and tough steps.
Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed the revised nuclear policy as an important decision on Tuesday. Putin’s move to sign the revised nuclear policy is also being considered a response to Biden’s decision. Russia’s new nuclear policy provides that if there is a large-scale air attack on Russia, then Russia can use nuclear weapons in response.
