Here's what we're covering.
President Biden has crossed what used to be a red line in the US's support of Ukraine.
He's authorized Ukraine to fire American supplied long range missiles inside Russia.
It marks a major policy shift for the president.
Even as the US has poured billions of dollars of military aid into Ukraine, Biden repeatedly hesitated when it came to helping Ukraine go on the offensive.
He's been worried about provoking Russian President Vladimir Putin into a wider war.
But with North Korean troops now fighting in western Russia to take back land that Ukraine seized, Biden changed course.
The main reason for the change was a decision that was taken by Russia to introduce North Korean soldiers into the fight.
