U.S. President Joe Biden has announced a significant $8 billion military aid package for Ukraine, which includes advanced long-range munitions like the Joint Standoff Weapon (JSOW). The announcement comes ahead of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's visit to the White House. The aid is intended to bolster Ukraine's defense capabilities as the war with Russia continues. However, Biden clarified that the U.S. will not permit Ukraine to use these weapons to strike targets deep within Russian territory. This move is seen as a strategic effort to support Ukraine while managing the broader geopolitical risks.
