Biden Gives Ukraine Permission To Use U.S. Weapons To Strike Inside Russia

The decision is significant as the U.S. has been a lone standing blockage to give Ukraine more freedom to attack russian soil.

President Biden gave Ukraine permission to use American weapons to strike inside Russia.

The decision only applies to some weapons supplied by the U.S..

Ukraine will be allowed to use certain types of weapons to strike Russian forces preparing to attack just over the border. However, Ukraine will still be prohibited from using longer range weapons to strike deeper into Russia.

The green light comes after Russia launched a sweeping cross-border assault in the northeastern Kharkiv region, which will be the only area Ukraine could use U.S. weapons to strike back.
