President Joe Biden announced that he has authorized Ukraine to use U.S.-supplied long-range missiles. When reporters shouted questions about allowing Ukraine to strike Russian territory with these weapons, Biden declined to answer and walked away from the podium into the rainforest. The incident has raised concerns about U.S. involvement in the conflict and potential escalation with Russia. Meanwhile, a representative of Donald Trump's transition team told TASS that Trump may revoke Biden's decision if elected. Reports indicate that Biden's team fears possible strikes by Ukraine could escalate the conflict.
