Ukraine Seeks US Approval for Long-Range Missiles

Ukraine is preparing to present a list of potential Russian targets to US officials, seeking permission to use long-range missiles currently restricted by the White House's policy. Concurrently, Ukraine has raised alarms over a significant build-up of Belarusian troops, including Wagner mercenaries, near its border under the guise of exercises, posing a potential threat. Belarus has allowed Russian forces to use its territory as a launchpad for attacks, and any Belarusian incursion would prompt a self-defense response from Ukraine. Meanwhile, a security scare at a NATO air base in Germany was linked to a possible Russian drone attack, highlighting broader regional tensions.
