There are roughly 500 miles between Kyiv and Moscow.

And since the very beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine,

the US has provided weapons to Ukraine that are designed to cover long distances. First, the Pentagon sent long-range artillery

pieces that can fire at targets around 20 miles away. Months later the US

sent artillery rockets that can launch an explosive roughly 52 miles away.

And now President Vlodimier-Zolinsky has set his sights at an even greater distance, 190 miles.

That is the reach of a U.S. made long-range missile that has the potential to hit

military targets deep inside Russia. For months now President Zelensky has

been requesting access to these advanced weapons from the US and other Western

nations. Here's US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken responding to a

reporter from Sky News earlier this month on whether the US was considering

the request. So not ruling out at this stage. We don't we never rule out but

when we when we rule in we want to make sure it's it's done in such a way that it

could advance what the Ukrainians are trying to achieve.

But Russian President Vladimir Putin has already warned that such a tactic could

mean war with the US and his allies.

Putin said in an interview,

quote, this will mean that NATO countries, the United States,

European countries are fighting with Russia.

And that, of course, raises concerns

about nuclear weapons.

Consider this.
