President Joe Biden has authorized Ukraine to use US-supplied long-range missiles to strike targets inside Russia. This marks a significant shift in US policy, allowing Ukraine to target Russian military sites for the first time. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that the missiles will "speak for themselves," emphasizing the importance of action over words. This decision follows ongoing discussions about the use of British-supplied Storm Shadow missiles. Concerns have been raised about future US support for Ukraine, especially with Donald Trump set to take office in January. Russian officials have warned that this move could escalate tensions and lead to greater conflict.
