The media are concerned that the Russian-Ukrainian conflict is heating up sharply, and the United States has relaxed its arms restrictions on Ukraine or ruined the opportunity to achieve peace.
CCTV News:The Russian side said that Ukraine used missiles from the United States and Britain to attack targets in Russia because western countries relaxed restrictions on Ukraine’s use of western weapons. Under this circumstance, Russia issued a tough warning by testing a new medium-range hypersonic missile.
China, Hong Kong and wenhui network: The United States relaxed its arms restrictions on Uzbekistan based on political considerations.

At the last moment of his term, US President Biden approved Ukraine to use the US Army tactical missile system to attack targets in Russia. According to the analysis of the article, even if Ukraine is loosened to use the US Army tactical missile system, the number of the system that Ukraine can obtain is still limited, and the situation of the Ukrainian army on the battlefield will not change much. Obviously, Biden suddenly made this decision out of political considerations and intended to create trouble for Trump who claimed that he could end the Russian-Ukrainian conflict in a short time.
Associated Press: Russia strongly responds to the increased risk of conflict escalation

Russian President Vladimir Putin said that relaxing restrictions on Ukraine’s use of western missiles means that Russia and NATO may fall into war. The Russian side made a tit-for-tat test of a new medium-range hypersonic missile codenamed "Hazelnut". In addition, Russia has recently announced new principles for the use of nuclear weapons, lowering the threshold for the use of nuclear weapons. Putin’s tough stance and missile test are severe warnings to western countries that aid Ukraine.
Yonhap News Agency: What is the risk of "nuclear upgrade"?

Putin sent a clear signal that western countries have "crossed the border" and made it clear that western actions may lead to global nuclear conflicts. What is the risk of "nuclear escalation" caused by the Russian-Ukrainian conflict? First of all, considering the specific situation and future direction of the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield, it is less likely for Russia to use nuclear weapons. Secondly, US President Biden’s term of office is only less than two months, Trump is about to take office again, and US aid to Ukraine is likely to be unsustainable. Both Russia and Ukraine tend to remain calm and choose to "show their muscles" by means of military demonstrations.
American National Interest: American strategy may backfire.

The article pointed out that Biden’s approval of Ukraine’s use of the US missile system to attack deep areas of Russia was the most reckless act. These missiles alone are not enough to change the situation of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, but may involve the United States in a direct conflict with Russia. The Russian side has previously made it clear that once the long-range missiles of the United States or the West are involved in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, it means that the West will directly go to war with Russia and Russia will be forced to respond. Biden took this unnecessary risk before the end of his term, which may ruin the chance of peace.
