Biden's bold move: Ukraine gets green light for deeper strikes
According to reports from Reuters, Joe Biden has allowed Ukraine to use American long-range weapons on Russian territory. Western leaders believe this decision could be a turning point in the war. "The day has come!" wrote Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda on X.
Ukraine has received significant support from the outgoing President of the United States. Joe Biden has authorised the use of American long-range weapons on Russian territory. This comes in response to North Korea's involvement in the conflict.
This means that Ukrainians can target strategic locations within Russia using American missiles. Joe Biden's decision could impact the trajectory of military operations. This is especially crucial at a time when the Ukrainian army is experiencing difficulties on the frontline.
A strong voice from the Lithuanian president: "This day"
Many NATO politicians have expressed satisfaction with the American authorities' decision. Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski stated that "the victim of aggression has the right to defend itself," and "President Biden responded in a language that Putin understands."
Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda went further. In his opinion, this marks a "decisive moment in the war," and "peace is the reward of the strong."
The day has come! Ukraine can now strike military targets in Russia using long-range missiles. This is a decisive moment in Ukraine's fight against the aggressor Russia. Peace cannot be achieved through weakness. Peace is the reward for the strong. Stay strong, Ukraine! - wrote the Lithuanian politician on X.
It should be noted that the Russians responded harshly to Joe Biden's approval of using long-range missiles on Russian territory. Vladimir Putin has already declared that Moscow would regard such approval as "US involvement in the war." This was confirmed by Leonid Slutsky, chairman of the State Duma's International Affairs Committee and head of one of the parties.
In the Ukrainian conflict, this will inevitably provoke the most severe Russian response, due to the threats that will arise for our country – stated Slutsky.
