Biden authorizes Ukraine to use long-range missiles against Russia, raising concerns of escalation

foxnews.com

President Joe Biden has authorized Ukraine to use U.S.-supplied long-range missiles to strike inside Russia for the first time. This decision has raised concerns among Trump allies, who warn it could escalate tensions and potentially lead to "World War III." U.S. officials confirmed that Ukraine can now target Russian positions in the Kursk region, where significant Russian troop presence has been reported. Critics, including some Republican lawmakers, argue that this move constitutes an unconstitutional act of war and could endanger U.S. citizens. The authorization follows months of Ukrainian requests for long-range missile capabilities. While Ukrainian forces have used drones for strikes, they believe the U.S.-made ATACMS missiles would be more effective. Russia has not yet responded to this development, but officials have accused the U.S. of escalating the conflict.
