Biden authorizes Ukraine's use of US-supplied long-range missiles for deeper strikes inside Russia
Summary
President Biden has authorized Ukraine to use U.S.-supplied long-range ATACMS missiles to strike Russian territory, marking a significant policy shift.
The decision responds to Russia deploying over 10,000 North Korean troops to the Kursk region and aims to bolster Ukraine’s defense against a major Russian offensive.
While some officials warn of potential Russian retaliation against U.S. or European assets, others argue the move sends a strong message to deter North Korea’s involvement.
The policy change comes two months before President-elect Trump, who opposes further Ukraine support, takes office.
