Russia warns of risks as US allows Ukraine to strike inside its territory

news.yahoo.com

President Joe Biden has changed U.S. policy to allow Ukraine to use long-range missiles supplied by the U.S. to strike targets inside Russia. This decision has drawn warnings from Moscow and support from some Western allies. The policy shift comes amid ongoing Russian missile attacks in Ukraine, including a recent strike in Sumy that killed 11 people. The U.S. had previously limited Ukraine's ability to target Russia to avoid escalating the conflict. Kremlin officials claim this change increases the risk of direct confrontation between NATO and Russia. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy acknowledged the approval but emphasized that actions, not words, will determine the outcome.
