Biden's permission to strike Russia with ATACMS missiles is a sabotage of peace efforts in the Ukraine conflict and an attempt to influence the outcome, a senior lecturer in the Department of History and Political Studies at Nelson Mandela University, Dr. Ntsikelelo Breakfast, told Sputnik Africa.According to the speaker, the decision to authorize long-range missiles for Ukraine to strike deep into Russia is a politically motivated move designed to sabotage President-elect Donald Trump's planned peace efforts.This action is a dangerous escalation that will worsen the conflict and threaten regional security, the professor said.However, such a decision could force a reconfiguration of the global power balance and trigger a movement towards a multipolar world order, challenging the current US-dominated system, with BRICS seen as a potential counterweight, the speaker argued.

On Sunday, US President Joe Biden reportedly authorized Ukraine to strike deep into Russia with American missiles ATACMS. In September, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that allowing Kiev to use its Western long-range missiles on Russia would mean NATO's direct participation in a war against the Russian Federation.
Biden's permission to strike Russia with ATACMS missiles is a sabotage of peace efforts in the Ukraine conflict and an attempt to influence the outcome, a senior lecturer in the Department of History and Political Studies at Nelson Mandela University,
Dr. Ntsikelelo Breakfast, told
Sputnik Africa. "By saying that the other country that is a participant in the war can strike with missiles at long range, you are actually supporting [it], in a particular way. You want to influence the outcome of the war," he said.
According to the speaker, the decision to authorize long-range missiles for Ukraine to strike deep into Russia is a politically motivated move designed to sabotage President-elect Donald
Trump's planned peace efforts."I think he's trying to set up the upcoming President Trump for failure. So, he [Joe Biden] is creating a mess for Trump that he has to sort out after he has come to power," the expert noted.
This action is a dangerous escalation that will worsen the conflict and threaten regional security, the professor said.
"What is going to happen now if they come into the picture, if NATO comes in and the allies of Russia come into the picture? The conflict will worsen [with] the way things are at the moment. But I think it's a very unfortunate turn of events, and it doesn't do justice to the way things are and to the current situation," Breakfast explained.
However, such a decision could force a reconfiguration of the global power balance and trigger a movement towards a multipolar world order, challenging the current US-dominated system, with BRICS seen as a potential counterweight, the speaker argued.
"But also it [authorization] calls for a reconfiguration of the world order, in terms of balance of power," he concluded.
