US lifts restrictions on Ukraine's use of Western missiles to strike Russia – WSJ

The Trump administration has lifted a key ban on Ukraine's use of long-range Western missiles to strike Russia. This decision allows Ukraine to attack military targets deep within Russia, including with Storm Shadow missiles.
The Donald Trump administration has lifted a key ban that restricted Ukraine's use of Western-made long-range missiles to strike Russian territory. According to the WSJ, citing American officials, this decision gives Kyiv more opportunities to attack enemy military targets deep within Russia. This is stated in the WSJ material, writes UNN.
The new rules allow Ukraine to use British-made Storm Shadow missiles, which have a range of over 180 miles. It was this weapon that Ukrainian troops used for a recent strike on a Russian factory in Bryansk.
The decision was made after control over the approval of such operations was transferred from the US Secretary of Defense to the command of US forces in Europe. This marks a turning point in Washington's policy after months of restrictions imposed by the Pentagon.
