President Joe Biden has authorized Ukraine to use U.S.-supplied long-range missiles to strike Russia, in a significant policy shift at the end of his term. This decision comes as President-elect Donald Trump had promised to limit U.S. support for Ukraine and end its conflict with Russia. The U.S. has provided $175 billion in aid to Ukraine, making American support crucial for Ukraine’s defense against Russia. Without this support, Ukraine would struggle to resist Russian attacks.
On Sunday, Russia launched a series of missile strikes in Ukraine, resulting in the deaths of at least seven people and causing extensive damage to power infrastructure. The situation is ongoing, and updates are expected as the conflict escalates. Biden’s authorization for Ukraine to use long-range missiles signals a departure from the previous administration’s approach to the conflict, and could have significant implications for the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia. It remains to be seen how this decision will impact the situation on the ground and the broader geopolitical landscape.
