Biden approves Ukrainian strikes deep into Russia with US missiles – NYT. President Joe Biden has reportedly approved Ukraine’s first use of US-provided long-range missiles for strikes deep within Russia, the New York Times (NYT) has claimed, citing anonymous American officials. "Russian and North Korean forces operating in Kursk Region" of western Russia are apparently the intended targets for the weapons, the officials told NYT. However, the NYT quoted its sources as saying Washington does not expect the change to bring any breakthrough for Ukrainian war effort. Some Ukrainian troops have reportedly been forced to abandon their vehicles and move on foot after running out of fuel.
