A US government official who spoke on condition of anonymity said President Biden has authorized the use of such weapons against Russia, an issue that has been a long-standing request of President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Initially, the information was given by the New York Times and the Washington Post. The official said that the permission to use these weapons in Ukraine is a response to North Korea's move to send its troops to Russia to help it in the war against Ukraine.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky has praised the decision saying that, “The plan to strengthen Ukraine that I presented to our partners is a victory. One of the important aspects of this plan is the ability of our army to reach far. Today there is a lot of talk in the media about us being allowed to take action.

Russian MP Maria Butina has said that if President Biden's administration has approved the weapons, it will be risking the occurrence of the third world war.
