President Joe Biden's administration has authorized Ukraine to conduct long-range strikes into Russian territory using U.S.-supplied weapons, a major shift in policy. The decision follows Ukraine’s appeals for enhanced military capabilities amid reports of North Korean troops joining Russian forces. The Kremlin has not yet responded but previously warned that easing restrictions on Ukraine's use of U.S. weapons would be viewed as a major escalation.
