Anger in Russia over Biden's missile move, what has Putin warned before?

President Biden's decision to allow Ukraine to strike inside Russia with US-supplied long-range missiles has sparked a furious response in Russia.

"Outgoing US President Joe Biden ... has taken one of the most provocative, ill-advised decisions of his administration that risks catastrophic consequences," the website of Russia's state-run newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta said on Monday morning. .

Russian lawmaker Leonid Slutsky, head of the pro-Kremlin Liberal Democratic Party, predicted the decision would "inevitably lead to a serious escalation, threatening serious consequences."

Russian Senator Vladimir Dzhabarov called it "an unprecedented step towards World War III".

Komsomolskaya Pravda, the pro-Kremlin tabloid, called it "a predictable escalation."

However, what really matters is what Vladimir Putin calls it and how the Kremlin leader responds. There is still no comment from Russian President Vladimir Putin, but in his previous statements he has made his message to the West clear.

"Don't do this, don't remove restrictions on the use of your long-range weapons, don't allow Kiev to strike deep into Russian territory with these missiles."

In September, President Putin warned that if this was allowed to happen, Moscow would consider it "direct participation" by NATO countries in the Ukraine war.

"This means that NATO countries... are fighting Russia," he continued./ CNA
