Ukraine Readies to Strike: Biden Backs Long-Range Attacks Inside Russia
U.S. approval for Ukraine to launch strikes signifies a pivotal escalation in the Russia-Ukraine War.
As tensions rise in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, President Joe Biden has authorized Ukraine to initiate long-range attacks inside Russia using American-supplied missiles. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed enthusiasm over this decision, indicating that the initial strikes would occur “soon and without warning.” This approval is seen as a strategic move, enabling Ukraine to target deeper within Russian territory, thus giving its military more flexibility in response to continued Russian assaults.
The backdrop to this decision includes a combined offensive from Russian and North Korean forces against Ukrainian troops in the Kursk region, reportedly swaying the Biden administration's stance. The involvement of North Korea has raised further alarm among U.S. and European officials, highlighting the potential for an expanded military engagement as allies from both sides delve into ground combat.
In a recent address to the nation, Zelensky emphasized the element of surprise, stating, “Blows are not inflicted with words. Such things are not announced. The rockets will speak for themselves.” This signals a determined approach from Ukraine as it prepares to ramp up its military operations, advocating it as a necessary response to protracted hostilities and humanitarian crises resulting from years of Russian bombardment.
