NY POST: Biden lets Ukraine use US long-range missiles to hit deep inside Russia just weeks before Trump takes office:

President Biden has reportedly given Ukraine permission to deploy US-supplied longe-range missiles to attack targets in Russian territory just weeks before President-elect Donald Trump takes office.

Ukraine said it plans to take advantage of the policy change within days.

The dramatic shift in policy comes as Ukraine has faced setbacks on the battlefield and after months of requests by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to allow Ukraine’s military to use US weapons to hit Russian military targets far from its border.

Trump had pledged that he will end the war once he takes office in January.

“As President Trump has said on the campaign trail, he is the only person who can bring both sides together in order to negotiate peace, and work towards ending the war and stopping the killing,” Trump’s communications director Steven Cheung told The Post.

“Only official statements on this matter will come directly from President Trump or his authorized spokespeople.”

Biden’s team had long been divided over whether to give the approval for the use of Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) against targets inside Russia, the New York Times reported.

Some in his orbit said that the move would be provocative and could lead to a dramatic escalation from Russia as well as retaliation against the US. There were also concerns about limited US supplies of ATACMS.

Looming over the decision was the Kremlin’s decision to deploy North Korean troops into the bloody war, which presents significant dangers for Ukraine, per the report.

Biden, 81, has slowly been relaxing restrictions on Ukraine’s ability to strike targets on Russian soil with US-supplied military hardware.

Previously, the president allowed Kyiv to use American High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) to hit Moscow’s forces across the border. HIMARS have a range of roughly 50 miles, while ATACMS can strike targets about 190 miles away. --->READ MORE HERE
