The Kremlin said on Monday that any U.S. decision to allow Ukraine to fire American missiles deep into Russia would mean it was directly involved in the conflict, which it accused President Joe Biden's administration of escalating. Russia has been telling the West for months how it would interpret such a decision, and that it would raise the risk of a confrontation with the U.S.-led NATO alliance. When asked about reports by the New York Times and Reuters that Biden's administration had made the decision on long-range strikes, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov noted that the reports were not based on any official statement.
