US Support Changes Dynamics in Ukraine Conflict

President Biden's recent decision to allow Ukraine to use US-supplied landmines and long-range missiles marks a significant shift in the ongoing war with Russia. This new permission represents a departure from previous US policy, which had restricted Ukraine's ability to launch attacks deep into Russian territory. The change comes as the conflict enters its 1,000th day, prompting discussions about the current military standings of both nations. Ukraine has welcomed this support but acknowledges that such measures alone are insufficient to secure victory in the war.
