President Joe Biden has authorized Ukraine to use powerful long-range American weapons inside Russia, according to a senior US official familiar with the decision, as North Korean troops deploy in support of Moscow’s effort.
The decision comes as Russia has deployed nearly 50,000 troops to Kursk, the southern Russian region where Kyiv launched its surprise counteroffensive in the summer, to prepare to take back territory.
US Air Force Col. Cedric Leighton (ret.) says that the move will send a signal to China and Pyongyang as thousands of North Korean troops have deployed to Kursk as part of the offensive.
