Ukraine CAN fire crucial long-range missiles into Russia as Biden lifts ban in last act after Vlad unleashes air attack

PRESIDENT Joe Biden has for the first time authorised the use of US-supplied long-range missiles by Ukraine to strike inside Russia, insiders have said.

The decision is a major US policy shift and comes as Biden is about to leave office and President-elect Donald Trump has pledged to limit American support for Ukraine and end the war as soon as possible.

The insiders were not authorised to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
