Ukraine prepares for imminent strikes on Russia following U.S. policy shift

Ukraine has welcomed a U.S. decision to allow long-range strikes inside Russia using American missiles. President Zelenskyy indicated that these strikes could happen soon and without warning, aiming to respond to ongoing Russian attacks. The U.S. shift follows the deployment of North Korean troops alongside Russian forces, raising concerns about an expanded conflict. The new policy permits Ukraine to use ATACMS missiles, which can hit targets up to 300 kilometers away. Zelenskyy emphasized that military strikes would not be announced in advance. The U.S. previously limited Ukraine's ability to target deeper inside Russia, but the recent developments appear to have influenced this change in policy.
