US approves Ukraine's use of ATACMS missiles to strike targets inside Russia, a policy shift.

The Biden administration has approved Ukraine's use of US-supplied Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) to strike targets inside Russia, marking a significant policy shift. These short-range ballistic missiles, made by Lockheed Martin, can hit targets up to 190 miles away with a 375-pound warhead. Ukraine has long sought this authorization to target Russian and North Korean forces in the Kursk region, aiming to bolster its military position. This decision comes in the final months of the Biden administration.
