US Greenlights Ukraine's Use of Western Arms for Strikes Inside Russia

Western nations have finally permitted Ukraine to use advanced weaponry to strike inside Russia, but only in limited areas adjacent to the northeastern Kharkiv region. This decision follows prolonged delays and cautious deliberations by Western allies, which Ukrainian servicemen argue have cost lives. Despite the new permissions, experts believe this will not be a game-changer but rather a measure to contain Russia amid ongoing conflicts and shortages of Ukrainian troops and resources.

"Ukraine's Struggle: Delays in Western Military Aid Cost Lives"

Ukraine's defense minister, Rustem Umerov, expressed frustration over delays in the delivery of western weapons, stating that 50% of promised arms had not arrived on time, leading to setbacks in the war with Russia. With Russia's significant military spending and US military aid package blocked, Ukraine's armed forces are facing shortages of air defense missiles and artillery shells. Despite these challenges, Ukraine has made gains in reclaiming territory and is focusing on drone production to counter Russian advances.
