Biden allows Ukraine to use U.S. long-range missiles against Russia

time.com

President Joe Biden has authorized Ukraine to use U.S.-supplied long-range missiles, specifically the Army Tactical Missile System, for strikes deeper inside Russia. This decision comes as Russia deploys North Korean troops to bolster its military efforts in Ukraine. Previously, the U.S. had restricted Ukraine's use of these missiles to prevent escalation. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has been advocating for this change, arguing that the limitations hinder Ukraine's ability to defend against Russian attacks. The authorization follows a significant increase in Russian military activity, including a recent large-scale drone and missile attack on Ukraine's energy infrastructure. The situation has raised concerns among Ukraine's allies about the potential impact of North Korean support for Russia.
