Biden allows Ukraine to hit some targets in Russia with US weapons | BBC News
US President Joe Biden has given Ukraine permission to use American-supplied weapons to strike targets in Russia, but only near the Kharkiv region, US officials have said.
One official said his team had been directed to ensure Ukraine was able to use US weapons for “counter-fire purposes” to “hit back at Russian forces hitting them or preparing to hit them”.
Russian forces have made gains in the north-eastern Kharkiv region in recent weeks after a surprise offensive in the area, close to the border with Russia.
European leaders and the UK had called for restrictions on the use of such weapons to be relaxed, despite concerns that such a development could further escalate the conflict.
President Vladimir Putin warned that attacks by Ukraine on Russia with Western missiles risked triggering a wider war.

As the US-Israel war with Iran reaches a diplomatic stalemate – one idea seems to be taking hold: that China is the real winner.
Some have argued that the US’s biggest rival is quietly boosting its international standing, leverage and reputation as a reliable partner.
Yet beneath the surface the economic situation in China looks far less triumphant.
We speak to the BBC China Correspondent Laura Bicker who has been reporting from inside China’s factories and trading hubs to explore whether the potential political gains China may be accruing from the Iran war are being offset by the acute economic cost – and what this means for China’s long-term geopolitical ambitions.
