Biden authorizes Ukraine to use US missiles against targets in Russia

President Joe Biden has authorized Ukraine to use U.S.-supplied long-range missiles to strike targets deep inside Russia. This marks a significant shift in U.S. policy, allowing Ukraine to respond to recent escalations, including North Korea sending troops to support Russia. The decision follows a major Russian aerial attack on Ukraine and comes as Biden prepares to leave office. Ukraine plans to conduct its first long-range strikes soon, likely using ATACMS rockets, which can hit targets up to 190 miles away. Biden's approval may influence other countries, like the UK and France, to allow Ukraine to use their long-range missiles as well. The move aims to bolster Ukraine's position amid ongoing Russian advances and North Korean military support for Russia.
