US Permits Ukraine to Strike Russia with Western Weapons
TL;DR Summary
Western countries have lifted restrictions on Ukraine using their weapons to strike targets inside Russia, a significant policy shift aimed at countering recent Russian advances in the Kharkiv region. This change allows Ukraine to disrupt Russian logistics and troop movements near the border, although long-range weapons like ATACMS are still restricted to avoid escalating the conflict. The move is expected to strengthen Ukraine's defensive capabilities but won't fully protect against Russian air attacks.
