Ukraine fired long-range U.S. missiles inside Russia for the first time despite Moscow’s threats of retaliation. The attack hit an ammunition storage facility near the Russian city of Karachev and is the first such assault to use long-range, NATO-made arms.
WSJ’s Alistair MacDonald explains why the Kremlin sees this as a major escalation.

good to hear us tax dollars aren't going to waste in a junk pile somewhere. putin asked for it
Why is everyone still calling Putin "president?'
Putin has no real counter threat to the US. A Nuclear weapon fired at the US is mutually assured destruction. He started a pointless war and is demanding the world turn a blind eye like they did prior WW2 with Poland in 1939. Allowing Putin to succeed would embolden Russia to invade more nations!
The ruthless dictator arrogantly violated the terms of the UN Charter that he swore to when he joined the UN, invaded a neighboring country where he had been living peacefully, and has been indiscriminately attacking defenseless people for two and a half years. The dictator's actions are being fueled by cult supporters from a certain country (I know which country it is, and most of the people sympathize with Ukraine) who have been brainwashed by an anti-American guru, and who, under the pretext of their baseless and self-centered delusions, are collectively posting on websites around the world to praise and incite the dictator's actions. The invasion of Ukraine has been condemned by a UN resolution as "an act of aggression." The irrational ruler and the cult supporters who are aligned with a distorted ideology. We must not allow anti-social evil to run rampant on the planet, destroying the international legal order that guarantees the safety and interests of all inhabitants of the civilized world.
Putin has been threatening nuclear war with the west every other day for the last 3 years. The west has crossed every single one of Russia’s “redlines” and nothing has happened. Russia can’t defeat Ukraine after 3 years of war. I strongly doubt Russia would do any better against NATO.
For our own sake, Russian patience must not be construed Russian weakness. Romanians voters are sending a message to the world.
short range= 300km medium range = 500-600 km
Let's hope Trump instantly bans this and forces Ukraine to sign a peace treaty. This war needs to end.
Меня смешит как запад преподносит свое орудие😂😂😂 мы сейчас разрешим Украине бит по вам ракетами, да они давно это делают , просто почти все их ракеты не долетают до места и сбиваются 😂😂 а тут уже месяц обсуждают как будто это что он изменит 😂😂😂 вы никто , вы воюете Олько с пастухами в пустынях, вы даже вьетнам не смогли победить 😂😂 вы трусы и лжецы
Zelensky and Netanyahu are war criminals, lock them up NOW.
Ha ha ha funny west propaganda.,
In no way is having US/NATO ground personnel entering launch/strike codes into a weapons platform in an armed conflict with a combatant/beligerent nuclear-armed superpower opponent – is a ever a good thing… period. So we want to next put our 18 year olds into the conflict? While Ukraine has an age restriction of no one younger than 27 is allowed to be conscripted. Good job there!
But using Iranian, Chinese and North Korean equipment is fine? Russian mental gymnastics
U . S. Patriot missiles, is highly capable of intercepting other missiles before hitting rock bottom
Ukraine? More like nato billions of money and nato army lol
This is the last effort by the warmonger to escalate the crisis to World War III before Trump takes office. I hope Trump will stops this craziness!!
Lol. Yall say it's to give help to Ukraine before Trump gets in. This decision had nothing to do with helping Ukraine and more to do with escalating a war before they leave. So much for a peaceful transition.
Stupid move by the crooked Biden administration. Trying to bring the world into WW3. Russia is not playing.
Stupid and useless war.
We are missing Obama leadership, he would have avoided this war .
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Прошу всех из Usa ,Think about it
the way she spelled karachev ahh <3
Attackum cheese snackums! 🤣
This doesn’t show anything except only one reality who is covered by America is naked 😅😅
SATANA 2 ⚔️☠️🇪🇺
NATO is not making any arms. Stupid message at the beginning. Period.
America has been the world's biggest rogue state for 100 years.
Atacms are short range ballistic missiles 300km SRBM ! russian propaganda long range for esculation? russian kinzhal kalibr 1000s km range iskander ss26 500km range. Civillians in Ukrainian cities are being targeted night and day by russia.
Puntin should leave the people of Ukraine. Ukraine now become desperate and they have to use any that they can.
Ukraine gave it's nuclear arsenal to Russia on the promise that Russia will stay out of it's affairs. That did not happen. Ukraine should have kept it's nukes, instead of trusting a country with a chronic history of being invaders in foreign lands.
Putin malapit na yong bansa ninyo madali sa Ukraine hahaha 🤣😂🤣😂 talo na si dodong Putin
Putin said the fall of the Soviet Union was a catastrophy. He is trying to rebuild it. Trump is helping him.
So y is the tittel u.s it should say nato
Someone is getting desperate and trying to drag america into its losing war.
Every conflict can be end with Ukraine not joining Nato . They still think they can live as a normal independent country even if russia stop the war, after the war Ukraine will just become a tiny US in EU. No way they can pay the debt 🤣🤣
Give Ukraine Tomahawks! They got the ATACAMS way to late. And US is blocking Gripen among other systems to enter Ukraine due to some US parts in them. U.S is late and chickens out.
The devils in the white house are desperate because they know their time is short!!! This is why they want to start a world war!!!
If Russia is allowed to receive help so isnt Ukraine and Putin is not the president of Ukraine and does not own the US supplied missiles that were used so he cannot and does not have any right to tell them what they can and cannot use.
where ? near your butts that hits your croatch, am I" m right? just asking ,pardon for being sraightforewardness now you know ,rational
ATACMS isn’t a long range missile
The US fired US missiles provided by the US.
