Biden restricts Ukraine's use of long-range missiles to small area in Russia

The U.S. has allowed Ukraine to use long-range ATACMS missiles, but President Biden has restricted their use to a small area in Kursk, Russia. This limits Ukraine's ability to target key Russian military bases launching attacks on Ukrainian cities. Despite the missile's range of 300 kilometers, many Russian launch sites have moved beyond reach. The ongoing conflict heavily favors Russia, which has a larger military and operates largely from its own territory, while Ukraine faces constant attacks. Russia has reacted strongly, claiming this decision escalates tensions. The situation may shift further with the upcoming U.S. presidential transition, as President-elect Trump has indicated a desire to negotiate with Russia, potentially sidelining Ukraine.
