Biden authorizes Ukraine to strike inside Russia with US long-range weapons

US President Joe Biden has reportedly authorized Ukraine to use long-range US weapons for strikes inside Russia. This decision marks a significant shift, as Biden had previously withheld permission due to concerns about escalating the conflict. Russian officials have reacted strongly, warning that this could lead to severe consequences for Ukraine and potentially escalate into a broader war involving NATO. Russian President Vladimir Putin had previously stated that such actions would mean a direct conflict between Russia and NATO. The authorization comes amid increased military involvement from North Korea in the conflict. As tensions rise, the implications of Ukraine's new capabilities and Russia's response remain uncertain.
