Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov blamed on Thursday the Biden administration for the recent escalation in the war with Ukraine, claiming that it “adds fuel to the fire of the Ukrainian conflict, preventing any dynamics toward its completion and using Ukraine as a tool in their hands in their war with the Russian Federation.” The United States allowed Ukraine to use long-range missiles to strike Russia last week, resulting in Ukraine firing US-made ATACMS missiles earlier this week. Peskov insisted that Russia “takes a responsible position” regarding nuclear weapons, making “maximum efforts” to prevent a nuclear conflict. He called on other nuclear states to act accordingly and refrain from “engaging in provocative actions.” NN: Trump will force a peace deal..
Zelensky says Putin using Ukraine as ‘training ground’
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of using Ukraine as a “training ground” after Kiev announced this morning that an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) was launched from the Russian territory for the first time since the war started. “Today, our crazy neighbor once again showed what he really is and how he despises dignity, freedom, and people’s lives in general,” Zelensky wrote on his Telegram Channel. “He [Putin] is so afraid that he is already using new missiles,” the Ukrainian president stressed, noting that an investigation into the missile launch is currently underway. “It is obvious that Putin is afraid when there is simply a normal life around him,” Zelensky added. Tensions between the two countries escalated further after Washington approved the use of US-made missiles by Kiev to strike targets within Russian territory. The Russian Ministry of Defense also shared today that it intercepted 2 British-French long-range missiles.
