In a surprising turn of events, President Joe Biden has reportedly granted Ukraine permission to utilize US-supplied long-range missiles for strikes inside Russia. This decision marks a significant departure from previous US policy and comes after months of persistent requests from the Ukrainian government. The timing of this authorization is particularly noteworthy, as it comes just two months before President-elect Donald Trump is set to take office, with his promise to curb further support for Ukraine.
This policy shift is expected to have far-reaching implications for the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, as it potentially escalates the situation to a new level of confrontation. The decision to provide Ukraine with long-range missiles for strikes inside Russian territory underscores the Biden administration’s commitment to supporting Ukraine in its struggle against Russian aggression.
As tensions mount in the region, our correspondents Nimisha Jaiswal in Kyiv and Stefan Simons in Washington, D.C. provide further insight into the implications of this decision. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
