Russian President Vladimir Putin says Moscow has tested a new intermediate-range missile in a strike on Ukraine and that it could use the weapon against countries that have allowed Kyiv to use their missiles to strike Russia.
“deep into russian territory” is quite an exaggeration. Biden only okayed it for the Kursk and neighbouring regions.
The U.S. official, who wasn’t authorized to speak publicly about the decision, said the U.S. is allowing Ukraine to use the weapons to target in and around Kursk — the same region where some 10,000 North Korean troops were recently deployed, according to the U.S. and its allies.
Why though? A warning to the west?
Cause last time I checked, Russia and Ukraine are on the same continent, making this a huge waste.
Probably a warning in response to letting Ukraine use western missiles deep into russian territory.

Didn’t the ATACMS land somewhere in Bryansk, the WW3 at 10 oclock on this image?
Is this like a punch card, do we need to hit all of the WW3s?
Thank you for the clarification. It was the lingo used by western media these past days.
The RS-26 only has around 6000km range and was developed for striking Europe.
