    WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Joe Biden’s administration has lifted restrictions that had blocked Ukraine from using U.S.-provided weapons to strike deep into Russian territory, said three sources familiar with the matter, in a significant change to U.S. 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.

    The White House declined to comment.

    The move by the United States, which comes just over two months before President-elect Donald Trump takes office on Jan. 20, comes after months of requests by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to allow Ukraine’s military to use U.S. weapons to hit Russian military targets far from its border.

    The change follows Russia’s deployment of North Korean ground troops to supplement its own forces, a development that has caused alarm in Washington and Kyiv.

    The first deep strikes are likely to be carried out using ATACMS rockets, which have a range of up to 190 miles (306 km), according to the sources.

    While some U.S. officials have expressed skepticism that allowing long-range strikes will change the war’s overall trajectory, the decision could help Ukraine at a moment when Russian forces are making gains and possibly put Kyiv in a better negotiating position when and if ceasefire talks happen.

    It is not clear if Trump will reverse Biden’s decision when he takes office. Trump has long criticized the scale of U.S. financial and military aid to Ukraine and has vowed to end the war quickly, without explaining how.

    Still, some congressional Republicans have urged Biden to loosen the rules on how Ukraine can use U.S.-provided weapons.

    Russia has warned that it would see a move to loosen the limits on Ukraine’s use of U.S. weapons as a major escalation.

    Never really understood this stance from the Biden administration, why being so scared of Putin? You beg to wonder what in the circumstances have changed that facilities this decision. Anyway it’s good that it happen but way too late.

    Just in time to hit those North Korean/Russian troop camps that have been “safe” until this point. Possibly a beautiful timing before they push.

    If this does become official, next up will be a change in German leadership followed by Taurus with no restrictions. Plus no more shackles on Scalp/Storm Shadow.

    I guess Christmas came a tad early in Ukraine. Now they put all that western ordinance to use.

  7. I wish they would not announce it until after Ukraine gets to attack. Now ruzzia has a little time to prep.

    The NYT article states that this is just for inside the occupied Kursk region.

    Wait and see I guess.

    Guten Morgen USA – Guten Morgen Deutschland – Guten Morgen Europa – alle ausgeschlafen ?

    Das war doch schon 2023 vorauszusehen, das die Ukraine ohne diese Waffen ausblutet.

    Wer übernimmt nachher die Verantwortung, für die vielen Toten Ukrainer und die Zerstörung ?

    Es gibt leider keine Alternative, ihr Penner.

    I don’t really have faith in Donny king or his cabinet. Yet if they were serious about ending the war they might give Ukraine more than needed and then there is a bargaining chip.Edit: then Donny king gets the credit for all of it.

    Let’s not get carried away. It’s only authorized to be used in the defense of the taken territory. No more, no less

    I wouldn’t want to be that Russian soldier standing near any North Korean troops in Russia.
