US lifts restrictions on Ukraine's missile strikes into Russia

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. This change aims to bolster Ukraine's defense as Russian troops regroup. The decision comes amid rising tensions, with Russia massing troops near the border and North Korean soldiers reportedly involved. The U.S. hopes this move will strengthen Ukraine's position and potentially deter further North Korean support for Russia. Other Western allies, like the UK and France, may follow suit in relaxing their missile usage restrictions. The shift reflects a growing willingness to support Ukraine more robustly as the conflict continues.
