Biden administration ramps up support for Ukraine, sparking concerns of potential major conflict

Washington D.C., USA - In a move that has raised eyebrows, President Joe Biden authorized Ukrainian forces to use American-supplied long-range missiles in strikes within Russian territory, marking a significant shift from his previous focus on conflict reduction.

According to sources close to the White House, Mr. Biden made this decision as part of a deal with US lawmakers who backed additional military aid for Ukraine amid rising tensions with Russia.

Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, announced that Russian forces had launched a massive assault on his country, firing 120 missiles and 90 drones in the latest salvo. However, according to Ukrainian air force officials, the nation's defences successfully intercepted 144 of the 210 airborne targets.

In Beijing, China reiterated its call for a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Ukraine on Monday, urging all parties involved to "cool down the situation as soon as possible" and seek "an early ceasefire and a political solution."

Trump Jr., who has been vocal about his support for his father Donald Trump's potential return to the presidency, claimed in a statement that the Biden administration was using its support for Ukraine as a means to initiate a major conflict before January.

This latest development is likely to fuel concerns of a broader escalation, with many analysts predicting increasingly higher stakes and more complex military dynamics. The international community is remaining on high alert as tensions continue to escalate along the Russian-Ukrainian border.

The White House has declined to comment further on the matter, while Ukraine's presidential office said it was grateful for US support but emphasized that its primary objective remains negotiations for a lasting peace in Donbas. However, with the world watching anxiously from the sidelines, many are now bracing themselves for an increasingly turbulent future.
