Biden approves Ukraine's use of long-range missiles against Russian targets

President Biden has reportedly approved Ukraine's use of U.S.-made long-range missiles, allowing strikes on Russian targets. This marks a significant shift from previous restrictions that limited Ukraine's ability to target deep within Russia. Ukrainian forces may soon use ATACMS missiles, which have a range of up to 190 miles, to hit military bases and supply lines farther from the border. This change could enhance Ukraine's ability to disrupt Russian operations. The decision has prompted discussions among U.S. allies about their own missile support for Ukraine. European leaders have expressed support, while Germany faces criticism for its reluctance to provide long-range missiles.
