Biden Eases Restrictions on Ukraine’s Use of American Missiles in Response to North Korean Troops
President Joe Biden has lifted the restriction preventing Ukraine from firing U.S.-made long-range missiles at Russia, a decision influenced by North Korea’s involvement in the ongoing conflict and the victory of Donald Trump in elections. For months, Biden resisted calls from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to ease missile usage limits to avoid NATO’s engagement in a conflict with a nuclear power. However, North Korea’s troop deployment in Russia prompted the U.S. to reassess its stance and strengthen support for Ukraine amidst its battlefield struggles.
