The recent decision by the Biden administration to allow Ukraine to use American-made weapons for strikes deep inside Russia has ignited a complex debate within Europe and heightened tensions with Moscow. While the Kremlin condemned this move, claiming it escalates the conflict, reactions among European leaders vary significantly. Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani emphasized that weapons supplied to Ukraine should only be used within its borders, contrasting sharply with the EU's foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, who supports Ukraine's right to strike back at aggressors. This divergence reflects a growing division within the European Union regarding military support for Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is actively inspecting the front lines, particularly in Pokrovsk, a critical logistics hub for Ukrainian forces facing Russian advances. With Russian troops reportedly mobilizing for a counteroffensive in the Kursk region, the situation remains precarious as Ukraine braces for potential missile attacks. The presence of North Korean soldiers in Russia further complicates the dynamics, indicating a potential shift in the conflict's landscape.
