US allows Ukraine to strike Russian territory with ATACMS missiles

The U.S. has lifted restrictions on Ukraine's use of ATACMS missiles, allowing strikes on Russian territory. Previously, Ukraine could only use these missiles against Russian forces within its borders, which frustrated its military efforts. This policy change comes amid ongoing Russian attacks that killed 183 civilians in October. The U.S. decision may enhance Ukraine's ability to defend its territory and counter Russian forces massing near the border. The lifting of restrictions could also influence other Western nations, like the UK and France, to relax their missile usage limits. The move is seen as a response to increased Russian military support from countries like North Korea and Iran.
