United States President Joe Biden's administration has allowed Ukraine to use US-made weapons to strike deep into Russia, two US officials and a source familiar with the decision say.

It is a significant reversal of US policy in the Ukraine-Russia conflict.

Ukraine plans to conduct its first long-range attacks in the coming days, the sources said, without revealing details due to operational security concerns.

About bloody time. Hopefully this will encourage other countries to do the same.

Seems like the UK and France just waited for the US to lift the restrictions.
