Briefly

U.S. intelligence agencies suggest that permitting Ukraine to use long-range missiles could provoke a significant retaliatory response from Russia, escalating conflict and posing a major risk.
The intelligence assessment indicates limited effectiveness of the long-range missiles, as Ukrainian forces currently possess few and Western support for additional supplies remains uncertain.
President Biden faces pressure regarding Ukrainian missile usage, with internal deliberations reflecting a challenging decision influenced by the risks posed by Russian retaliation.
Putin's threats serve to deter the U.S. and allies from supplying advanced weaponry, indicating ongoing tensions in the military assistance strategy toward Ukraine.
