Many reports provided by Russian media or government representatives are elements of propaganda. Such reports are part of the information war conducted by the Russian Federation.
On Sunday evening, Reuters, citing several sources familiar with the matter, reported that the administration of U.S. President Joe Biden had given the green light to Ukraine for using American weapons to strike targets deep within Russia.
As reported by Reuters, Ukraine is set to conduct its first long-range attacks in the coming days using ATACMS missiles with a range of about 186 miles. Russia's deployment of North Korean ground troops at the front was said to have influenced the U.S. decision to change.
"This would mean that NATO countries are at war with Russia"
The first suggestion that the U.S. might reconsider the restrictions on Ukraine appeared at the beginning of September.
- Should such a decision be made, it would mean nothing less than the direct involvement of NATO countries in the war in Ukraine. It would change the nature of the conflict. It would mean that NATO countries are at war with Russia, - Putin warned in a video published on Telegram at the time.
Later on Sunday, Margarita Simonian, one of the best-known Kremlin propagandists, commented. "I don't know why, but I know it leads to nothing," she remarked in her first post on Telegram.
In the second, she referred to the play titled "Heartbreak House," stating that it is "her favorite work in English." "You can only read the ending," she proclaimed. Bernard Shaw's play ends with an air raid and an explosion.
On Monday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov commented on the U.S. decision and stated that U.S. President Joe Biden is "adding fuel to the fire" and striving to escalate the Russian-Ukrainian war.
