Zelenskyy confirms US lifts ban on long-range missiles for Ukraine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed that the U.S. has lifted its ban on using American-made long-range missiles in Russia. This change follows Zelenskyy's long-standing request for the removal of the restrictions. The announcement comes amid ongoing Russian attacks in Ukraine, including a recent drone strike in Sumy that killed at least eight people. Rescuers are searching for survivors in the aftermath of this significant assault. Russian officials have reacted strongly, warning that the U.S. decision could escalate tensions and risk a larger conflict. Amnesty International has also reported that Russia is committing war crimes in Ukraine, highlighting the impact on civilians, especially children.
