Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said this evening that “missiles speak for themselves” and “such things are not announced”, following reports that Washington had given Kiev permission to launch strikes deeper into Russia with US-made missiles.
Washington has given Kiev the go-ahead to bomb Russian territory with long-range missiles supplied to the Ukrainian military by the US, two officials and a source said today, in a larger shift in US policy in the war in Ukraine.
“It can lead to the Third World”
Washington’s decision to allow Ukraine to strike deep into Russia with US long-range missiles could lead to World War III and will receive a swift response, Vladimir Dzabarov, the vice-chairman of the Federation Council’s Foreign Affairs Committee, said today, according to the Russian news agency TASS.
“The language Putin understands”
Washington’s authorization for Kiev to strike Russian territory with long-range missiles is a “language that (Russian President Vladimir) Putin understands,” Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said.
“On the entry of North Korean troops into the war and the massive Russian missile attack, President (American Joe) Biden responded in a language that B. understands. Putin,” Sikorsky told X.
According to the Polish minister, “the victim of an attack has the right to defend himself.”
Poland has remained a staunch supporter of Kiev since the start of the Russian invasion.
Ukraine’s already badly damaged energy grid came under one of the biggest Russian attacks in months this morning, with raids killing nine people and injuring around 20 across the country, authorities said.

Guest 1: President Zelensky, thank you for joining us today. Can you tell us about the recent reports that the US has given Ukraine permission to launch strikes deeper into Russian territory with US-made missiles? What impact do you think this will have on the ongoing conflict?
Guest 2: Thank you for having me, Mr. Vice-Chairman Dzabarov. As President Zelensky mentioned, the US has given Ukraine permission to strike deeper into Russian territory with US-made missiles. Do you think this is a wise decision? How might this escalate tensions further, and what is your response to those claims?
Guest 1: Minister Sikorski, it seems that the US’s decision to allow Ukraine to strike Russian territory with long-range missiles is a “language that Putin understands.” Can you expand on this statement? Do you think this will lead to further escalation or potentially influence Russia’s decision-making process?
Guest 2: Building off of Minister Sikorski’s comment, Vice-Chairman Dzabarov, how do you think Russia will respond to these new strikes? Will they view it as an act of aggression or self-defense? How might this affect the ongoing dialogue between Russia and the international community?
Guest 1: Moving onto the recent attacks on Ukraine’s energy grid, President Zelensky, can you provide any updates on the situation and what steps your government is taking to mitigate the impact on civilian populations?
Guest 2: Minister Sikorski, what measures is Poland taking to support Ukraine during these attacks? Additionally, with increasing attacks on Ukraine’s critical infrastructure, do you think there is a risk of other nations getting dragged into the conflict?
