Biden approves long-range missile use as Zelenskyy declares ‘missiles will speak for themselves’

In a significant US policy shift, President Joe Biden has authorized Ukraine to use US-supplied long-range missiles to strike targets inside Russia. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, while welcoming the decision, emphasized that actions speak louder than words and the missiles will speak for themselves. This decision comes in response to Russia’s massive drone and missile attack on Ukraine, which targeted energy infrastructure and killed civilians. Reports have emerged that North Korea has sent thousands of troops to Russia in support of President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, further escalating the conflict. The introduction of North Korean troops has shifted momentum in Russia’s favor. President-elect Trump has suggested pushing Ukraine to surrender some seized land to bring an end to the conflict, raising concerns among Ukraine’s international backers. Despite fears of escalation, US officials argue that providing Ukraine with weapons is essential for them to defend themselves and end the war. The situation in Ukraine remains volatile as the conflict continues to unfold.
