President Biden’s administration has permitted Ukraine to utilize U.S.-made weapons for strikes inside Russia, marking a significant policy shift in the ongoing conflict.

This decision follows Ukrainian President Zelenskiy’s persistent requests for long-range strike capabilities against Russian military targets.

Ukraine intends to initiate its first long-range attacks shortly, although specifics remain undisclosed for operational security.

The policy change is partly a response to Russia’s recent deployment of North Korean troops to bolster its forces, alarming both Washington and Kyiv.

The White House and State Department declined to comment, and there has been no immediate response from Ukrainian officials.

Russia has warned that allowing Ukraine to strike deep within its territory would constitute a serious escalation.

Major increase

The planned deep strikes will likely involve ATACMS rockets, capable of reaching targets up to 190 miles away.

Some U.S. officials are skeptical about the potential impact of long-range strikes on the war’s outcome, but the decision may enhance Ukraine’s position in any future ceasefire negotiations.

The situation is complicated by the forthcoming inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump, who has criticized U.S. military aid to Ukraine and may reassess this decision.

North Korean troop involvement in eastern Russia has raised concerns, as Russia has made territorial gains despite heavy losses.

Analysts suggest that this change in policy is overdue, as earlier military support was also necessary for Ukraine’s defensive efforts.
