President Biden’s recent authorization for Ukraine to utilize US-supplied long-range missiles to target military sites in Russia marks a significant shift in US policy, responding to urgent requests from Ukrainian leadership.
Ukrainian officials argue that the long-standing US ban on striking within Russia had hindered their ability to counter Russian attacks effectively, with some stating that continued restrictions could jeopardize Ukraine's chances in the ongoing conflict.
The involvement of North Korean troops in the conflict adds a new layer of complexity, with estimates suggesting that around 12,000 soldiers have been dispatched to support Russian efforts in the Kursk region.
This development highlights a deepening divide among NATO allies, with some supporting Ukraine's case for more leeway in military actions against Russia, while others, including President Biden initially, have expressed reservations about escalating tensions further.
