Outgoing US President Joe Biden, by allowing American weapons to strike deep into the territory of Russia, did everything to start the Third World War. This is how Republican US Senator Mike Lee (from Utah) reacted.
"Joe Biden has just set the stage for World War III. Let's all pray that it doesn't come to this," Lee wrote on his page on the social network X, commenting on the media publication about the approval of strikes by American ATACMS missiles deep into Russian territory.
As EADaily reported, earlier Washington, Paris and London organized a leak in the media about their permission to strike at Russian territory with American long-range tactical ballistic missiles ATACMS and, respectively, tactical missiles SCALP and Storm Shadow. So, The New York Times newspaper, citing officials in the White House, reported that the Joe Biden administration took this step after months of deliberation. According to the sources of the publication, the "green light" for long-range strikes was a response to the alleged transfer of the North Korean military to the Kursk region.
The first ATACMS strikes on Russia will take place in the coming days, Reuters writes with reference to sources. According to the agency's interlocutors, a modification of missiles with a range of 300 km will be used.
There is no official confirmation of this information from Washington, Paris and London yet.
