US Expands Policy Allowing Ukraine to Strike Deeper into Russia
TL;DR Summary
The U.S. has allowed Ukraine to use American weapons to strike Russian territory, reducing some Russian attacks but still restricting the range to less than 100 kilometers, preventing Ukraine from hitting key Russian airfields. This limitation has allowed Russia to continue using air bases to launch deadly glide bombs, causing significant damage to Ukrainian military positions and civilians. While the policy change has improved the situation in Kharkiv, Ukrainian officials argue that longer-range capabilities are needed to further reduce Russian military advantages.
