Hungarian official criticizes Biden decision allowing Ukraine to use US weapons to strike Russia
Associated PressBUDAPEST, Hungary — Hungary’s foreign minister lashed out on Monday at U.S. President Joe Biden’s decision to authorize Ukraine to use missiles supplied by Washington to strike deeper inside Russia, saying the move could serve to escalate the war and threaten the outbreak of a global conflict. The decision allowing Kyiv to use the Army Tactical Missile System, or ATACMs, for attacks farther inside Russia comes as President Vladimir Putin positions North Korean troops along Ukraine’s northern border to try to reclaim hundreds of miles of territory seized by Ukrainian forces. President Biden has authorized Ukraine to use U.S.-supplied missiles to strike deeper inside Russia, according to a U.S. official and three other people familiar with the matter. Szijjártó called Biden’s authorization of Ukraine to use U.S. weapons “incredibly dangerous,” and warned that it carried the risk of the war, which marks 1,000 days on Tuesday, spreading further.
