Biden allows Ukraine to target Russia with US weapons, UK considers similar move

U.S. President Joe Biden has authorized Ukraine to use U.S.-supplied weapons to target sites in Russia. This decision follows pressure from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and may influence the UK’s stance on allowing similar actions with British missiles. Downing Street stated that Ukraine must be in the "strongest possible position" for defense but did not confirm if the UK would permit strikes on Russia. The UK has been cautious, waiting for a shift in U.S. policy regarding the use of long-range missiles. Russia has warned that this change could escalate tensions and alter Western involvement in the conflict. Meanwhile, Ukraine continues to seek long-range capabilities to counter Russian attacks effectively.
