Biden lets Ukraine strike Russia with U.S. missiles. United States President Joe Biden’s decision to let Ukraine strike targets inside Russia with U.S.-supplied long-range missiles was met with ominous warnings from Moscow, a hint of menace from Kyiv, and nods of approval from some Western allies. Mr. Biden’s shift in policy added an uncertain and potentially crucial new factor to the war on the eve of its 1,000-day milestone. Washington is easing limits on what Ukraine can strike with U.S.-made weaponry after months of ruling out such a move over fears of escalating the conflict and bringing about a direct confrontation between Russia and NATO.

Will the West really back Ukraine ‘for as long as it takes’?
