U.S. Policy on Long-Range Missiles for Ukraine

The U.S. is deliberating whether to permit Ukraine to utilize long-range missiles supplied by Western allies to target positions within Russia. Concerns surrounding escalation, particularly regarding potential nuclear threats from Russia, have delayed the Biden administration's approval. Notably, the urgency for such a decision has heightened due to Iran's agreement to supply Russia with missiles and military training. Analysts assert that granting this capability could significantly diminish Russia's operational capabilities by targeting critical military infrastructure deep within its territory.
