US Lifts Missile Limits on Ukraine, Raising World War Concerns

DID Press: United States has lifted a key restriction on Ukraine’s use of Western-supplied long-range missiles, allowing Kyiv to strike targets deep inside Russian territory — a move analysts warn may escalate the war and risk a wider global conflict.

According to The Wall Street Journal, Trump administration approved the policy change, transferring strike authorization to NATO’s top European commander, Gen. Alexus Grynkewich. Ukrainian military has since claimed a missile strike using Britain’s “Storm Shadow” system on a Russian explosives factory in Bryansk.

Washington’s decision, made prior to President Volodymyr Zelensky’s recent White House visit, marks a major shift in the conflict’s dynamics. Military experts caution that Moscow may respond with broader retaliation, potentially drawing NATO directly into confrontation — an escalation some fear can ignite the beginnings of a new world war.
