Biden Authorizes Ukraine to Use Long-Range Missiles Inside Russia

The decision aims to strengthen Ukraine ahead of Trump's presidency as Russia escalates its attacks and receives North Korean reinforcements.

The Biden administration has lifted restrictions on Ukraine's use of American ATACMS missiles to target Russian territory, focusing on the Kursk region.
This policy shift comes as Russia deploys an estimated 12,000 North Korean troops to support its efforts in Ukraine, intensifying the conflict.
European allies are divided over Biden's decision, with countries like Germany opposing escalation while others, such as France and the UK, support expanded Ukrainian strikes.
Russia has reportedly fired an intercontinental ballistic missile at Ukraine, marking a significant escalation, though the missile did not carry a nuclear warhead.
The U.S. is accelerating arms deliveries to Ukraine, including anti-personnel mines, to bolster its defenses before Trump assumes office, amid concerns he may reduce support for Kyiv.
