Washington’s approval for Ukraine to use long-range American missiles against military targets inside Russia is a “big mistake” which could drag the world to the brink of a “major war”, Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in remarks published on Wednesday.
“This step by (US President Joe) Biden will not only escalate the conflict, but will lead to a greater reaction from Russia … (and) may bring the region and the world to the brink of a major new war,” he told journalists on the flight back from the G20 summit in Rio.
