Russian Lawmakers Warn Joe Biden's Missile Decision Could Spark World War

Russian lawmakers have issued sharp warnings following reports that the Biden administration has approved Ukraine's use of US-made weapons for strikes deep inside Russia. According to Reuters, which cites US officials and sources, the decision represents a significant escalation of the ongoing conflict.

Russian Lawmakers Warn of World War III

Russian lawmaker and ex-US prisoner on foreign agent charges accuses Joe Biden of pushing world closer to catastrophe. The Biden administration is escalating the situation to its maximum while they remain in power,  Maria Butina told Reuters. She still hopes former President Donald Trump will overturn such policies when he will return to office, warning that that decision risks the outbreak of World War III.

Andrei Klishas, a leading senator in Russia's upper house, Federation Council, wrote on Telegram, In this case, the complete destruction of Ukraine by morning is quite possible. Moscow's other senior lawmaker, Vladimir Dzhabarov, also said Moscow's response would be immediate and decisive. The cardinal step to a global conflict was taken.

This would elicit from us the toughest response, Leonid Slutsky, chairman of the State Duma's foreign affairs committee, warned. Of course, strikes at the Russian territory with ATACMS supplied by the United States would trigger a deep escalation-maybe the most devastating one, which could bring quite dire consequences. A threatening response came from President Vladimir Putin, who earlier warned that bringing in NATO to provide such arms would amount to direct interference in the war. He also reiterated that the ministry of defense of Russia is ready to repel any threat by Western-sponsored strikes.

The US and NATO moves could be pushing the world into a broader, probably disastrous war as tensions build, Russian officials say. The Kremlin has yet to comment on the latest reports.
