Biden authorizes Ukraine to use long-range missiles in significant shift in conflict strategy
President Joe Biden has authorized Ukraine to use American long-range missiles, known as ATACMS, for strikes within Russian territory. This marks a significant shift from his previous focus on reducing conflict. The decision comes as Ukraine faces heavy military losses and dwindling troop numbers. Ukraine is prepared to deploy these missiles in the Kursk region, which borders Russia. In response, China has called for a peaceful resolution to the conflict, urging for a ceasefire and political solution. Meanwhile, Russia has intensified its attacks on Ukraine, launching a large-scale missile and drone assault.
