SUMMARY: President Biden has authorized Ukraine to use long-range U.S. missiles to strike inside Russia, a shift in U.S. policy. This decision follows Russia’s third-largest attack this year, killing at least 10 people. Ukraine’s new missile capabilities are expected to target Russia’s Kers region, where North Korean troops have joined Russian forces. Ukrainian President Zelensky emphasizes these missiles will be a crucial bargaining chip for future negotiations with Russia. The U.S. had previously only allowed missiles for use within Ukrainian-held territory. The policy shift comes as the Trump administration approaches, with both sides awaiting its stance on the conflict.

President Joe Biden authorized the use of the weapons, ATACMS, or Army Tactical Missile System, within the Russian Kursk region, two U.S. officials told ABC News on Sunday. The missiles have a range of about 190 miles. Moscow has issued a warning that US missile authorization may mark new level of involvement in the Ukraine war.
