Biden authorizes Ukraine to use US missiles for strikes deeper in Russia

President Biden has authorized Ukraine to use U.S.-supplied long-range missiles to strike deeper into Russia for the first time. This change comes as Ukraine marks 1,000 days since Russia's full-scale invasion. The Kremlin has warned of potential escalation. Ukraine has long requested permission to use these weapons amid ongoing Russian missile attacks. Previously, Biden had denied such requests, but recent developments, including North Korean troop deployments to Russia, prompted this policy shift. The U.S. Army Tactical Missile System, with a range of about 190 miles, is now available to Ukraine. While this may enhance Ukraine's defensive capabilities, analysts caution that the supply of these missiles is limited and future U.S. policy could change with the incoming Trump administration.
