The Kremlin has warned of a "palpable response" if Ukraine uses US-made long-range missiles to strike Russian territory. This follows the US allowing Ukraine to deploy Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) against military targets inside Russia, a significant policy shift. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that such an action would mean direct involvement by the US and its allies. The move comes as Russia intensifies its aerial bombardments, particularly on the Ukrainian city of Odesa, where recent strikes killed 10 people. Ukrainian officials argue that the missiles could help shorten the war and shift the battlefield dynamics.
