Biden's Authorization of Long-Range Missiles for Ukraine

President Biden has authorized Ukraine to use U.S. long-range missiles for strikes within Russian territory, representing a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict. This decision comes after months of Pentagon officials advising against such measures due to fears of escalating tensions with Russia. Historically, Biden has adjusted his stance on military support for Ukraine, having previously set and then lifted restrictions on various types of weaponry. The hope behind this decision is to bolster Ukraine's defensive position amidst increasing military pressure from Russia, especially with reports of North Korea supplying additional troops to aid the Russian side.
