US President, Joe Biden has authorized Ukraine to strike deep into Russia with American long-range weapons, following this announcement, the UK and France also revealed Ukraine is now allowed to use their weapons to strike deep into Russian territory.
The New York Times was the first to report that such a decision had been made, stating that it involved ATACMS tactical ballistic missiles and Storm Shadow.
Following this statement, Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro, at a press conference, accused the west of escalating the Ukraine conflict by supplying Kyiv with long-range missiles capable of striking deep into Russian territory. This he describes as ‘a state of madness’ and a provocation that could lead to broader conflict.
By condemning western support for Ukraine, Maduro does not only defend Russia- he’s also reinforcing his anti-Western rhetoric to solidify his stance domestically and to strengthen its alliance with non-western allies.
