US Supports Ukraine with Long-Range Missiles in StrategicShift Under Biden Administration

In a significant shift from previous conflict-reduction strategies, US President Joe Biden has granted permission to Ukrainian forces to utilize American-provided long-range missiles for strikes within Russian territory. The authorization allows Ukrainian forces to deploy US-manufactured Army Tactical Missile Systems in the Kursk region, situated along the northeastern border between the nations.

The move represents a major escalation in US support for Ukraine, and comes amid growing tensions with Russia. Donald Trump Jr., one of President-elect Donald Trump's closest advisors, claimed that the defense establishment aims to destabilize his father's presidency by escalating the conflict on Twitter.

"The Military Industrial Complex seems to want to make sure they get World War 3 going before my father has a chance to create peace and save lives," Trump Jr. tweeted, later adding "Gotta lock in those $Trillions. Life be damned!!! Imbeciles!" The incoming president's authorization is seen as a departure from his predecessor's approach, which emphasized dialogue with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

As of February marks the third anniversary of Russia's invasion, which has resulted in numerous civilian casualties in Ukraine. Trump has committed to ending the conflict and has reached out to both Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian leader Vladimir Putin to negotiate peace and work towards a resolution.

The incoming president has yet to disclose specific details regarding his strategy to conclude the war. However, among Trump's five children, Donald Trump Jr. maintains the strongest connection to his father's political endeavors and reportedly holds significant influence in the transition team, particularly regarding controversy appointees.

This shift in US policy reflects a broader power dynamic at play as President-elect Trump prepares to take office alongside a new administration under President Biden.
