Biden allows Ukraine limited use of US arms to strike inside Russia

By Redoy K

President Joe Biden has authorized Ukraine to use U.S.-supplied weapons to strike military targets inside Russia near the border with Ukraine’s Kharkiv region, where Russia has launched an offensive. This marks a policy shift for Biden, who had previously prohibited Ukraine from using American weaponry for strikes inside Russia. The decision applies only to targets supporting the Russian offensive against Kharkiv and does not allow attacks deeper into Russia or with long-range missiles. Photo: Reuters
