U.S. Support for Ukraine Escalates

The United States has granted Ukraine permission to use American-supplied long-range missiles to strike targets within Russia, a decision seen as pivotal in the ongoing conflict. This change comes despite concerns that it may be too late to significantly alter the balance in the war, as many strategic targets may have already been relocated by Russian forces in anticipation of such strikes. Analysts suggest that President Biden's timing reflects both confidence in Ukraine's resolve and perhaps a desire to solidify his legacy regarding foreign policy in his final weeks in office. Critics, however, raise questions about whether this tactical move will genuinely bolster Ukraine's position or escalate tensions further.
