Biden allows Ukraine to strike inside Russia with US missiles

US President Joe Biden has reportedly given Ukraine the green light to use long-range missiles supplied by the US to strike Russia, according to recent media reports.

In a video statement, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky acknowledged these reports but refrained from confirming or denying whether the US had officially given its approval. Instead, he cryptically remarked, “the missiles will speak for themselves”.
