The approval comes amid growing tensions in the southern Russian region of Kursk, where Russia has stationed nearly 50,000 troops in anticipation of a Ukrainian counteroffensive aimed at reclaiming territory.
Thousands of North Korean soldiers have been sent to Kursk as part of Moscow’s ongoing military strategy.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had been urging Washington to approve the use of these weapons within Russia, emphasizing that they were crucial for gaining the upper hand in Ukraine’s ongoing efforts to push back Russian forces.
