How crucial are long-range missiles in the Ukraine war? | Inside Story
The war in Ukraine is at a critical juncture.
Western allies are considering a shift in their support and may allow Ukraine to use long-range missiles against targets deep inside Russian territory.
Ukraine has been pleading for the go-ahead for months, but there’s no indication when or if US President Joe Biden will grant the request.
The Kremlin has warned such approval would mean NATO members were directly involved in the conflict.
Will Western nations cross President Vladimir Putin’s red line? And if they do, how will Russia respond?

With respect PUTIN is in an extremely strong position. Certainly not a bluff.
this is no news to me,Putin recieves missiles from north korea,Iran and partly China ,used it against Ukraine daily so its fair to say Ukraine too can also use western missiles against Russia full stop
Putin thinks he is going to scare NATO or the United States. if they give Ukraine the green light to use long range missiles. And now since Putin threats from Moscow. Ukraine is definitely going to use the missiles now๐คฃ. Because the United States doesn't bow down to nobody. And Russia is the one playing really with fire. On getting there country is going to be ashe up like charcoal. If anybody use a nuke period. They will affect the farmers over the globe. And food will be a big problem. and that one problem. And there is more to it.
Lammyโฆ.what an embarrassment to our nation he is!
The guy with the red tie is absolutely out of his mind. Very illogical! No talk of peace talk or diplomatic solutions.
Germany and Spain have nuclear weapons, not only Britain and France.
Everyone here kept making fun of Putin dont forget once the nuclear bomb has been dropped the whole world is over so kept on poking him
Zelensky finally realize he's just a proxy?
WHO EVER FIGHTS FOR THE ELITE IS A FOOL ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฉ
Putin is childish ,he is using all the arsenal and killing innocent Ukraine .He is also getting support from other countries and he warns others not to interfere .
Go ahead n see if Putin will not respond ๐๐๐ china has stopped putin from using nukes so far bt if it is attackd not even china will be able to stop him
What about Iran missiles?
The American is an absolute Warhawk, and said everything to push to strike deep inside Russia and make the war worse!
๐๐๐the main reason nato warmonger morons contemplating attacking deep inside Russia by using thier longrange missiles is because thier 200 + billions dollar spent proxy war and thier 2100+ sanctions to WEAKEN and DEFEAT Russia has failed๐๐๐
RUSSIA IS ADVANCING TOWARD POPROVSK CITY WHICH IS MAJOR SUPPLY HUB CLOSE TO DENPR RIVER
What are ordinary Ukrainian people saying,we need to hear from them.
I am truly amazed with the way politicians and so called experts talk in relation to this truly dangerous situation, like its a game and calling the others bluff. The reality is that a simple misunderstanding will potentially lead to the deaths of MILLIONS of people and possibly you in this debate will join me in the most horrible death possible. What right has the UK, USA or russia to play a game with the lives of millions ????,,,
๐๐this moron old rug lawreance the so called ex reagan adviser said " RUSSIA IS ON LOSING SIDE IN THIS WAR "๐๐๐what kind os cocaine is he sniffing?๐๐๐

How is yall gonna give Ukraine the weapons they need but be so bold as to tell them how to use the weapons you gave them to use what sense dose that make for yall
Fresh Boeing crisis as 30,000 workers prepare to strike
Boeing is facing a fresh crisis as 30,000 workers prepare to walk out after unanimously rejecting a 25 per cent pay rise. The strike at Boeing's West Coast factory will halt production of the planemaker's strongest-selling jet as it wrestles with chronic output delays and mounting debt. It comes after a series of shocking incidents involving the company's planes which have caused widespread uncertainty among the general public.
The west is like a bully. IF you give them an inch, they will take a mile. Russia was wrong to agree to the end of the Warsaw pact. That was their original mistake. The west told them no more expansion of NATO. They reneged on that promise. So if NATO strikes Russia and Russia refuse to response appropriately. NATO will escalate further.
Putin is playing a suicide game
Iโm glad the old ๐จ from DC donโt have a strategic position in army, otherwise we would have had WW3
