Biden authorizes Ukraine to use US rockets for strikes deep into Russia

President Joe Biden has authorized Ukraine to use U.S.-supplied Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) for long-range strikes deep into Russia. This policy shift comes as Ukraine plans its first attacks in the coming days amid heightened tensions. The U.S. decision follows Russia's deployment of North Korean troops, raising concerns about the conflict's escalation. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized that actions will speak louder than words regarding the missile strikes. As world leaders prepare for the G20 summit, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak stated he has no plans to speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who will not attend. Meanwhile, Russia launched a significant missile and drone attack on Ukraine, resulting in casualties and damage to energy infrastructure.
