Ukraine Conflict Escalates as Biden Allows Long-Range Missiles; Trump Jr Warns of Military Industrial Complex Plot to Destabilize Incoming Presidency

Washington D.C - The US support for Ukraine has taken a dramatic turn with President Joe Biden granting permission for Ukrainian forces to utilize American-provided long-range missiles for strikes within Russian territory.

In a bold shift from his previous conflict-reduction strategies, Biden's authorisation allows Ukrainian forces to deploy US-manufactured Army Tactical Missile Systems in the Kursk region along the northeastern border between the nations. The missiles possess a range of approximately 190 miles with substantial explosive capability.

This move has been widely seen as a significant escalation of the conflict and has raised concerns among international observers. Donald Trump Jr, who is set to assume his father's presidency next month, has taken to social media to express his outrage over the decision.

"The Military Industrial Complex seems to want to make sure they get World War 3 going before my father has a chance to create peace and save lives," he tweeted on Sunday. "Gotta lock in those $Trillions. Life be damned!!! Imbeciles!!"

The incoming president-elect has committed to ending the conflict, having communicated with both Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian leader Vladimir Putin following his electoral victory.

As President Trump has said on the campaign trail, he is the only person who can bring both sides together in order to negotiate peace, and work towards ending the war and stopping the killing," Trump's communications director Steven Cheung informed our publications.

However, specific details regarding Trump's strategy to conclude the war remain unclear. Among Trump's five children, Trump Jr maintains the strongest connection to his father's political endeavours and reportedly holds significant influence in the transition team, particularly regarding the selection of controversial cabinet appointments.

Ukraine has indicated its readiness to utilise the newly authorised weapons shortly after extended requests for permission to employ American missiles amidst significant military setbacks. February marks three years since Russia's invasion, which resulted in numerous Ukrainian civilian casualties.

The authorisation has raised questions among international observers about the motivations behind Biden's decision and whether it is aimed at escalating tensions with Russia ahead of Trump's presidency.
