KYIV, Ukraine — US President Joe Biden has cleared Kyiv to use long-range American missiles against military targets inside Russia, a US official told Agence France-Presse on Sunday (Monday in Manila), hours after Russia targeted Ukraine's power grid in a deadly barrage.
The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed reports from The New York Times and The Washington Post that the major policy shift -- long demanded by Ukraine -- was in response to North Korea deploying troops to help Moscow's war effort.
