Biden lifts ban on long-range missiles for Ukraine amid rising tensions with Russia

The Biden administration has lifted its ban on Ukraine using U.S.-made long-range missiles to strike targets in Russia. This change allows Ukraine to use these weapons specifically in the Kursk region, where recent military activity has intensified. Previously, the U.S. had restricted the use of these missiles due to concerns about escalating the conflict. The decision follows reports of North Korean troops engaging in combat in Ukraine, prompting a reassessment of military support. While this policy shift is significant, experts suggest it may not drastically alter the war's trajectory. The Kremlin has warned of a swift response, indicating potential for increased tensions between Russia and the U.S.
