President Joe Biden's administration has authorized Ukraine to use US-made weapons to carry out strikes on Russian territory. This was reported by Reuters sources among US officials.

Ukraine plans to carry out its first attacks in the coming days. If previously drones were used for these purposes, now the Ukrainian military forces can use American-made ballistic missiles to strike deep into Russia’s borders. It is believed that the decision was made in response to the sending of North Korean soldiers to the war in the Kursk region.

The move came two months before Donald Trump took office. Vladimir Zelensky has previously repeatedly sent relevant requests. Until now, the reluctance to give permission for missile strikes on Russian territory was explained by the US authorities as avoiding an escalation of the war. Putin previously stated that such a resolution would mean that “NATO countries are at war with Russia.”

EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell supports the idea of ​​allowing Ukraine to fire long-range weapons at targets in Russia: “I have said more than once that Ukraine should be able to use the weapons that we have given it to not only stop arrows, but also to hit archers,” Borrell said before a meeting with EU foreign ministers.

Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov called the decision of the American administration “a qualitatively new round of tension.” “If such a decision was really formulated and communicated to the Kyiv regime, this is a qualitatively new round of tension and a qualitatively new situation in terms of the involvement of the United States in this conflict,” Peskov said.
