Russia has warned that it would see a move to loosen the limits on Ukraine's use of US weapons as a major escalation.

Russia has warned that it would see a move to loosen the limits on Ukraine's use of US weapons as a major escalation. While some US officials have expressed scepticism that allowing long-range strikes will change the war's overall trajectory, the decision could help Ukraine at a moment when Russian forces are making gains and possibly put Kyiv in a better negotiating position when and if ceasefire talks happen.
Stretched by personnel shortages, Ukrainian forces have lost some of the ground they captured in an August incursion into Kursk that Zelensky said could serve as a bargaining chip.
