Russia will respond asymmetrically to Ukrainian attacks on its territory involving U.S.-provided weapons, according to Andrei Kartapolov, head of the Russian lower house's defense committee. Despite President Biden permitting limited missile strikes within Russia, Kartapolov insists this decision will not affect Russia's ongoing military operations in Ukraine.

Russia will retaliate asymmetrically to Ukrainian attacks on its territory using weapons provided by the United States, the RIA news agency cited Andrei Kartapolov, the head of the Russian lower house's defence committee, as saying on Friday.

Kartapolov said Biden's decision to allow limited missile strikes inside Russia with U.S. weapons would not impact Russia's military operation in Ukraine.
