Biden allows Ukraine to use U.S. long-range weapons in shift to offensive strategy

bostonherald.com

The Biden Administration has decided to allow Ukraine to use U.S. long-range weapons to strike targets inside Russia. This marks a significant shift from previous policy, enabling Ukraine to adopt a more offensive strategy against Russian forces. The U.S. will provide the MGM-140 Army Tactical Missile System, which can hit targets nearly 200 miles away. This capability aims to disrupt Russian supply lines and military formations before they can threaten Ukraine, especially with North Korean troops reportedly near the border. The Kremlin condemned the decision, claiming it escalates the conflict and implicates the U.S. in military actions against Russia. The war, which began in 2014, has resulted in millions of displaced Ukrainians and significant casualties on both sides.
