newsweek.com

President Joe Biden may allow Ukraine to use U.S.-supplied weapons for strikes inside Russia, according to a report. This marks a shift from previous restrictions, influenced by North Korea's involvement in the conflict alongside Russia. Retired General Ben Hodges suggested this change could benefit Donald Trump, who has criticized U.S. military aid to Ukraine. He believes the decision could provide leverage for future negotiations, although the U.S. has not confirmed the report. The Kremlin warned that such actions would escalate tensions. U.S. officials indicated that while the decision might aid Ukraine's operations, it is unlikely to significantly alter the overall dynamics of the war.
