The United States has taken a significant step in its support for Ukraine by declaring that Ukrainian forces are permitted to carry out strikes inside Russian territory if such attacks are deemed necessary in response to cross-border hostilities. This decision marks a pivotal moment in the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, reflecting a broader and more assertive stance by the U.S. in backing Ukraine’s right to defend itself against Russian aggression.

The U.S. State Department has approved a potential Foreign Military Sale to the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in the United States (TECRO) of Switchblade 300 Anti-Personnel and Anti-Armor Loitering Missile Systems and related equipment. This sale, valued at an estimated $60.2 million, was certified to Congress by the Defense Security Cooperation Agency. TECRO has requested 720 Switchblade 300 All Up Rounds (including 35 for testing) and 101 fire control systems.
