US Approves Ukraine Strikes Inside Russia, Launches Begin
TL;DR Summary
The Biden administration has allowed Ukraine to use U.S. weaponry to strike limited targets inside Russia, a decision made 17 days after Ukraine's request. This policy shift aims to help Ukraine defend the Kharkiv region, which has been under severe Russian assault. However, the delay in approval has cost Ukrainian lives, and there are doubts about whether this change will significantly alter battlefield conditions. The U.S. still restricts Ukraine from using long-range weapons to strike deeper into Russian territory.
