Chicago – November 17, 2024
In a significant development reported by the New York Times, President Joe Biden has approved for Ukraine to use long-range missiles provided by the U.S. against targets within Russian territory. This decision comes as a response to a massive missile and drone attack by Russia, which targeted Ukraine’s energy facilities over the weekend.
Russian President Vladimir Putin had previously warned that such a move by the U.S. would be seen as an act of war. However, there has been no immediate reaction from Putin following Biden’s decision. The White House also has not commented on this development when approached by Fox News Digital.
This escalation comes amid one of Russia’s largest attacks in recent months, involving over 200 missiles aimed at crippling Ukraine’s power and energy infrastructure. President Putin has stated before that allowing Ukraine to target Russia with these missiles would imply direct involvement of the U.S. and NATO in the conflict.
