President Joe Biden’s decision to allow Ukraine to strike inside Russia with long-range missiles supplied by the US has sparked a furious response in Russia.
On Monday, President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists that “if such a decision has been taken it means a whole new spiral of tension and a whole new situation with regard to US involvement in this conflict".
Mr Peskov accused the Biden administration of “adding fuel to the fire and continuing to stoke tension around this conflict".
The US’s decision comes after Russia deployed North Korean troops to the war zone to fight alongside Russian forces.
