This is a “decisive moment” in the fight against Russia, said Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda, reacting to Joe Biden's decision to allow Ukraine to use American missiles to attack targets deep inside Russia.
“The day has come!” – wrote Gitanas Nauseda on the X social networking site. “This is a decisive moment in the fight against the aggressor, which is Russia. Peace cannot be achieved through weakness, peace rewards the strong,” the president added Lithuania.
On Sunday evening, Reuters, citing several sources familiar with the matter, reported that President Joe Biden's administration gave the green light to Ukraine to use American weapons to hit targets deep inside Russia.
Biden granted such approval two months before the end of his presidency.
