Ukraine has received tremendous support from the outgoing President of the United States. Joe Biden has authorized the use of American long-range weapons on Russian territory. This decision comes in response to North Korea's involvement in the war.
This approval allows Ukrainians to target strategic points in Russia using American missiles. Joe Biden's decision could influence the course of military actions. This development is crucial, especially as the Ukrainian army faces challenges on the front line.
A strong voice from the Lithuanian president: "This day"
Many NATO politicians express satisfaction with the American authorities' decision. Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski stated that "the victim of aggression has the right to defend itself," and "President Biden responded in a language that Putin understands."
Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda went even further. He believes this is a "decisive moment in the war," and "peace is the reward for the strong."
The day has come! Ukraine can now strike military targets in Russia using long-range missiles. This is a decisive moment in Ukraine's fight against the aggressor, the Russian Federation. Peace cannot be achieved through weakness. Peace is the reward for the strong. Stay strong, Ukraine! - wrote the Lithuanian politician on X.
It's worth noting that Russians reacted harshly to Joe Biden's approval of using long-range missiles on Russian territory. Vladimir Putin has already stated that Moscow would consider such approval as "US involvement in the war." Leonid Slutsky, chairman of the State Duma's International Affairs Committee and head of one of the parties, confirmed this.
In the Ukraine conflict, which will inevitably be met with the most severe Russian response, due to the threats that will arise for our country – said Slutsky.
