Kremlin Warns Biden It Will Mount Response To 'Each' Use Of US-Supplied Missiles

The Kremlin has warned the Biden administration that Russia will retaliate with major attacks on Ukrainian targets every time US-supplied missiles are used against them. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that President Putin had previously warned that the authorization to use US-made missiles was an irresponsible and escalatory step. Putin also mentioned that Russia could hit decision-making centers in Kiev with the new intermediate-range hypersonic ballistic missile, the Oreshnik. This warning came after a week of record-setting drone and missile attacks on Ukraine, targeting the country's energy infrastructure and leaving many without power. Ukraine's Energy Minister German Galushchenko reported that the national power infrastructure was under massive enemy attack, with emergency power outages confirmed in several regions. The situation is part of a larger conflict, with some describing it as a proxy war between Russia and the West. Outside of Ukraine, Russia is accused of waging a sabotage campaign in Europe, while also increasing nuclear threats to deter other countries from supporting Ukraine. NATO countries are responding by increasing their military presence and capabilities, with Poland deploying tanks to Latvia and Germany planning to order new submarines. The conflict is expected to continue, with President-elect Donald Trump facing a challenging diplomatic situation when he takes office. The situation is becoming increasingly complex, with multiple countries involved and the potential for further escalation.
