Biden has authorized Ukraine to use long-range US missiles against military targets inside Russia.
WASHINGTON – US President Joe Biden has authorized Ukraine to use long-range American missiles against military targets inside Russia, a US official told AFP on condition of anonymity on Sunday, marking a major policy shift long demanded by Kyiv.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has consistently pushed for authorization from Washington to use the powerful Army Tactical Missile System, known by its initials as ATACMS, to hit targets inside Russia. The decision comes as Biden prepares to hand over power to President-elect Donald Trump, who has promised to bring the conflict to an end in "one day" in a negotiation that is expected to require Ukraine to relinquish territory.
During a meeting with French leader Emmanuel Macron on Monday, Prime Minister Keir Starmer of Britain discussed how to put Ukraine in "the strongest possible position going into the winter," his office said afterward.
