President Joe Biden has authorized Ukraine to use US-supplied long range missiles to strike Russia, Reuters reported, citing sources.
This marks a US policy shift coming at the tail-end of Biden’s time in office. President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to limit US support for Ukraine and end its war with Russia.
The US has provided $175 billion in aid to Ukraine — more than any other country — making American support crucial to Ukraine’s defense against Russia. A withdrawal of support could deal a major blow to Ukraine’s ability to resist Russia’s attacks.
On Sunday, Russia unleashes a barrage of missiles in Ukraine that killed at least seven people and caused severe damage to the power infrastructure.
