Biden approves missile use for Ukraine to target Russia as Starmer prioritizes support at G20

President Joe Biden has approved the use of US-supplied missiles by Ukraine to target locations in Russia. This decision follows pressure from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who has sought the ability to strike Russian bases launching attacks on Ukraine. The approval may influence the UK to allow Ukraine to use its Storm Shadow missiles, as the UK has been hesitant without a change in US policy. Zelensky emphasized the importance of long-range capabilities for Ukraine's military strategy. UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer stated that support for Ukraine will be a priority at the upcoming G20 summit. He highlighted the ongoing conflict's impact and the need for continued support amid new developments, including North Korean troops aiding Russia.
