- President Joe Biden has authorized Ukraine to deploy long-range US missiles, specifically ATACMS, against targets in Russia, a move that deviates from previous US restrictions.
- The decision comes in reaction to Russia’s deployment of thousands of North Korean troops in the Kursk region, where Ukrainian forces have been active.
- This policy shift occurs just two months before President-elect Donald Trump, who has expressed skepticism about US support for Ukraine, is set to take office.
