President Joe Biden has authorized Ukraine to use US long-range missiles to strike targets deep within Russia. This marks a significant shift in US policy regarding military support for Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned that this decision would be viewed as a major escalation and an act of war. The warning follows a recent large-scale Russian missile attack on Ukraine, which resulted in casualties and damage to energy infrastructure. As Biden's term nears its end, President-elect Donald Trump has indicated plans to reduce US support for Ukraine and seek a swift resolution to the conflict.
