Ukraine Launches U.S. Long-Range Missiles at Russia, Escalating Tensions
TL;DR
The Biden administration has allowed Ukraine to use U.S.-made long-range ATACMS rockets against Russian targets, marking a significant policy shift. Ukrainian forces launched these rockets at a major Russian ammunition storage site in Bryansk, though the extent of the damage is unclear. This decision comes amid increased tensions, with North Korea reinforcing Russian troops and Russia fortifying its military sites. The U.S. maintains it is not at war with Russia, despite Russian claims to the contrary.
