Ukraine has been authorized by President Joe Biden to use US-supplied weapons to target Russian forces firing on Ukrainian troops, even if they are across the border in Russia, not just near the Kharkiv region.
The Pentagon confirmed that the policy allows for Ukraine to defend itself against Russian aggression, emphasizing that it is not limited to specific geographic areas.
This decision marks a significant shift in US policy towards Ukraine, allowing them to respond to Russian attacks from within Russian territory if necessary.
Recent developments have shown that the conflict in Ukraine remains at a standstill, with no progress in peace talks and ongoing casualties on both sides.
Despite initial successes, the Ukrainian counter-offensive has slowed, and Russian forces still occupy a significant portion of Ukrainian territory.
The authorization for Ukraine to use US weapons against Russian forces wherever they may be represents a new phase in the conflict and a proactive approach to defending Ukrainian sovereignty.
