Biden Permits Ukraine to Strike Russian Targets with US Weapons
TL;DR Summary
President Biden has authorized Ukraine to use US-supplied weapons to strike Russian targets near the Kharkiv region for counter-fire purposes. This decision comes amid recent Russian advances in the area and ongoing shelling of civilian infrastructure in Kharkiv. The US maintains its policy against long-range strikes inside Russia but allows Ukraine to defend against incoming attacks. The move signals a potential shift in Western restrictions on Ukraine's use of supplied weaponry, despite concerns about escalating the conflict.
