Ukraine Launches First Cross-Border Strikes with US Arms After Biden's Approval
TL;DR Summary
NATO countries have lifted restrictions on Ukraine using Western-provided weapons to strike military targets inside Russia, particularly near the Kharkiv region. This policy change aims to help Ukraine counter Russian glide-bomb attacks that have heavily impacted Kharkiv. The US has also relaxed its stance, allowing limited cross-border strikes, though long-range attacks remain prohibited. Enhanced air-defense systems and the ability to target Russian launch sites are expected to bolster Ukraine's defense capabilities.
