US Greenlights Ukraine's Use of Western Arms for Limited Strikes Inside Russia

The policy shift allows Kyiv to target Russian positions near Kharkiv, aiming to counter relentless attacks on Ukraine's second-largest city.

• The decision follows months of Ukrainian pleas and recent escalations in the Kharkiv region.
• Western allies remain cautious, permitting strikes only in areas adjacent to the northeastern Kharkiv region.
• Ukraine can now use advanced weaponry, including F-16 fighter jets and guided rockets, but long-range missile strikes are still banned.
• Russian electronic jamming systems have reduced the effectiveness of some Western-supplied weapons.
• The policy change is seen as a step forward but not a game-changer in the conflict.
