President Joe Biden's administration has lifted restrictions on Ukraine using US-provided weapons to strike deep into Russian territory. This marks a significant shift in US policy amid ongoing conflict. Ukraine plans to launch its first long-range attacks soon, likely using ATACMS rockets with a range of up to 190 miles. The decision follows months of requests from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. The change comes as Russia deploys North Korean troops, raising concerns in Washington and Kyiv. Russia has warned that this move could be seen as a major escalation in the conflict.
