Ukraine's Potential Strikes on Russia with Western Weapons Stir Controversy
TL;DR Summary
The Biden administration has allowed Ukraine to strike inside Russia with American-made weapons, fulfilling a key request from Kyiv. This policy shift, supported by several European countries and Canada, enables Ukraine to use French SCALP and British Storm Shadow missiles, which have a range of about 150 miles. However, the U.S. and Germany have restricted the use of longer-range missiles like ATACMS and Taurus to avoid escalating the conflict.
