United States President Joe Biden’s administration has allowed Ukraine to use US-made weapons to strike deep into Russia, two US officials and a source familiar with the decision say.

It is a significant reversal of US policy in the Ukraine-Russia conflict.

Ukraine plans to conduct its first long-range attacks in the coming days, the sources said, without revealing details due to operational security concerns.

    About bloody time. Hopefully this will encourage other countries to do the same.

      I would hope for it to be evacuated beforehand, but I would be fully supportive of Moscow being leveled to the ground.

    I really do hope I’m wrong in this but I feel like this may be a case of “too little, too late”. We all know what’s going to happen to US aid to Ukraine once Trump becomes President. And then it’s just a question of whether or not EU weapons and support will be enough.
