Biden Allows Limited Ukrainian Strikes in Russia with U.S. Weapons

President Joe Biden has authorized Ukraine to carry out limited strikes within Russian territory using American munitions, specifically targeting areas near Kharkiv. This decision marks a shift in US policy and comes amid international pressure and recent Russian advances. The authorization is restricted to counterfire purposes and does not include long-range missiles. Secretary of State Antony Blinken confirmed the decision, emphasizing the need to adapt to changing battlefield conditions. European leaders, including France and Germany, have also signaled support for Ukraine's right to defend itself by targeting bases inside Russia.
