Ukraine Strikes Russia Using US-Supplied Weapons

TL;DR Summary
For the first time, Ukrainian soldiers have fired an American-supplied weapon at a target inside Russia, a move previously restricted by President Joe Biden due to fears of escalating the conflict. Biden's decision to relax these restrictions reflects a strategic shift, prioritizing Ukraine's need to counter Russian missile attacks over concerns of provoking a wider war. The change comes amid ongoing debates about the risks and benefits of such actions, with the current assessment suggesting that the benefits outweigh the risks of escalation.
