Ukraine CAN fire crucial long-range missiles into Russia as Biden lifts ban in last act after Vlad unleashes air attack

PRESIDENT Joe Biden has authorised the use of US-supplied long-range missiles by Ukraine to strike inside Russia, insiders have said.

The decision comes as Vladimir Putin launched “one of the largest” air attacks of the Ukraine war so far with 120 missiles and 90 drones.

The move also marks a major US policy shift as Biden is about to leave office and President-elect Donald Trump has pledged to limit American support for Ukraine and end the war as soon as possible.

The weapons are likely to be used in response to North Korea’s decision to send thousands of troops to Russia in support of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, three people familiar with the matter said.

The insiders were not authorised to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
