Russian lawmaker raises bogey of 'World War III' after Biden allows use of long-range US missiles by Ukraine

Moscow: Washington's decision to let Ukraine strike deep into Russia with long-range US missiles could lead to World War Three and will receive a swift response, Vladimir Dzhabarov, first deputy head of the Russian upper house's international affairs committee, said on Sunday, according to the TASS news agency.

Two US officials and a source familiar with the decision revealed the significant reversal of Washington's policy in the Ukraine-Russia conflict earlier on Sunday.
