From the begining the war the White House has held to a hard line since 🇷🇺 invasion of #Ukraine, refusing to provide Kyiv with the weapons it needs to target the Crimean Peninsula, which 🇷🇺has been using as a base for launching devastating strikes.

nytimes.com/2023/01/18/us/…

Now that line is starting to soften.
After months of discussions with Ukrainian officials, the Biden administration is finally starting to concede that Kyiv may need the power to strike the Russian sanctuary, even if such a move increases the risk of escalation,
