Joe Biden approved the use of long range missiles deep into Russia

President Joe Biden has approved the use of U.S.-supplied long-range missiles by Ukraine to target specific military positions within Russia, marking a significant policy shift. The decision includes allowing Ukraine access to the ATACMS system, which has a range of up to 190 miles. The Biden administration’s aim is to bolster Ukraine’s defensive and counter-offensive capabilities amid escalating Russian missile attacks and the shipment of Iranian ballistic missiles to Russia. However, restrictions remain to prevent escalation and preserve U.S. missile stockpiles

This development reflects intensified coordination between the U.S., Ukraine, and allies like the UK, which also supports providing Storm Shadow missiles for similar purposes. The decision aligns with ongoing discussions on enabling Ukraine to disrupt Russian operations and defend against threats while maintaining strategic control to avoid broader conflict
