Russia Threatens Berlin After Germany Allows Ukraine to Use Long-Range Missiles

Germany's decision to allow Ukraine to use Taurus missiles against Russia has prompted a strong response from Moscow. Russia has issued a direct threat to strike Berlin if any such missiles cross its border. This escalation comes as Germany recently lifted restrictions on the use of these long-range weapons, allowing Ukraine to target locations deep inside Russian territory, including Moscow. The Kremlin's spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, warned that such actions would make Germany a direct participant in the conflict. 'If a single German missile crosses the border, it will be considered an act of war,' Peskov stated in a press briefing. This stark warning underscores the rising stakes in the ongoing conflict and the potential for a wider war in Europe. The German Chancellor's office has yet to respond to the threat, but the situation remains highly volatile.
