The US President Joe Biden has granted Ukraine permission to use American-supplied weapons to strike Russian targets in the Kharkiv region, US officials confirmed. This authorization allows Ukraine to engage in "counter-fire purposes" against Russian forces attacking or preparing to attack Ukrainian positions. The US has maintained its policy prohibiting long-range strikes inside Russia, but has made an exception for defensive strikes in the Kharkiv region. This decision follows signals from the UK and other European leaders to relax restrictions on weapon use, aimed at supporting Ukraine's defense against Russian aggression.
