Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova, for her part, warned that Ukraine's use of long-range missiles to strike deep into Russian territory "will drastically change the essence of the [Ukraine] conflict" and "will mean the US and its allies’ direct involvement in military operations against Russia." "If this occurs, Russia's response will be adequate and tangible," Zakharova emphasized.

‘Another Step Up Escalation Ladder’: Trump Pick Rips Biden’s Reported OK on Deep Strikes Into Russia
The White House has yet to confirm information on the strikes, which Russia warns would signify the Western countries’ "direct participation" in the Ukraine conflict.
Mike Waltz, President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming national security adviser, has warned of unpredictable consequences from the Biden administration’s reported decision to allow Ukraine to use
long-range US weapons inside Russia.
"It’s another step up the escalation ladder, and nobody knows where this is going," Waltz told Fox News.
As for Trump, he is "talking grand strategy here: How do we get both sides to the table to end this war, what’s the framework for a deal and who is sitting at that table?" the incoming national security adviser added.
Late last week,
the New York Times cited unnamed sources as saying that outgoing US President Joe Biden had for the first time authorized
the Zelensky regime to use long-range US missiles to strike deep into Russian territory. The first such strikes will most likely be carried out with
ATACMS missiles, per the sources. Neither the White House nor the Pentagon have confirmed the information.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that, "If such a decision has indeed been formulated and communicated to the Kiev regime, then of course this is a qualitatively new round of escalation of tensions and a qualitatively new situation in terms of the involvement of the US in this conflict."
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova, for her part, warned that Ukraine's use of long-range missiles to strike deep into Russian territory "will drastically change the essence of
the [Ukraine] conflict" and "will mean the US and its allies’ direct involvement in military operations against Russia." "If this occurs, Russia's response will be adequate and tangible," Zakharova emphasized.
