The Ukraine-Russia war has changed dramatically with the United States (US) now allowing Ukraine to use its long-range weapons to attack targets deep inside Russia.
This decision, which reversed Washington's earlier position, followed repeated requests from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
This attack is expected to involve ATACMS rockets, with a speed range of 306 km.
The decision comes as Russia bolsters its forces with more than 10,000 North Korean troops, with assessments suggesting this number could rise to 100,000 in the future.
These troops have reportedly been deployed to Russia's Kursk region and are already engaged in combat.
The deepening military ties between Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un have worried Ukraine's allies, who see this as a dangerous escalation.
Some argue the US decision to authorize a deeper offensive is too late, as Ukrainian forces struggle to hold territory against increasing Russian advances.
Experts believe this new strategy could strengthen Ukraine's position in future peace talks.
However, there are concerns that the move could further fuel global tensions, with some allies fearing a wider conflict.
