Summary
As the conflict in Ukraine nears its 1,000th day, the war could be about to shift. President Joe Biden's approval for Ukraine to strike deep inside Russia with long-range US missiles has sparked fears of escalation, with fury in Moscow.<br /><br />Vladimir Putin has previously called the move "an unacceptable red line", as Western leaders, including Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer at the G20, weigh their next steps.<br /><br />Host Niall Paterson explores whether this moment marks a turning point for Ukraine, or the brink of something far worse. <br /><br />Ivor Bennett, our Moscow correspondent, and defence analyst and editor of The Defence Eye, Tim Ripley, join Niall to discuss if these missiles could change the course of the war. <br /><br />Producer: Rosie Gillott <br />Editor: Philly Beaumont
