In a significant shift in policy, President Biden has authorized Ukraine to use U.S.-supplied long-range missiles for strikes deep within Russian territory. This decision allows Ukraine to target specific locations in Russia, including the Kursk region. The move is seen as a response to ongoing tensions, with retired military officials suggesting it sends a strong message to both North Korea and China regarding their support for Russia. However, Russian lawmakers have warned that such actions could escalate into a larger conflict, potentially leading to world war. Zelenskyy stated that the missiles would reveal their impact through their use.
