Biden authorizes Ukraine to use US long-range missiles against Russia
US President Joe Biden has authorized Ukraine to use long-range American missiles against military targets in Russia. This decision follows a significant Russian missile attack on Ukraine's power grid, which resulted in civilian casualties and damage to infrastructure. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has long sought this approval, viewing it as crucial for Ukraine's defense. The policy shift comes amid reports of North Korean troops assisting Russia in the conflict, prompting a stronger US response. In the wake of the missile strikes, Ukraine announced emergency power restrictions as winter approaches. The attacks have drawn international condemnation, with leaders emphasizing continued support for Ukraine amid ongoing hostilities.
