[U.S. Eases Missile Restrictions for Ukraine, Enhances Cross-Border Strike Capability] The Trump administration has lifted restrictions, allowing Ukraine to use long-range missiles provided by Western allies to enhance its ability to strike Russian targets. On Tuesday, the Ukrainian military used British 'Storm Shadow' missiles to attack an explosives and rocket fuel factory in Bryansk, Russia, claiming to have successfully breached Russian air defenses. The 'Storm Shadow' missile has a range of approximately 290 kilometers, shorter than the 1,600-kilometer range of the U.S. 'Tomahawk' missile. U.S. officials anticipate Ukraine will carry out more cross-border attacks. Following the announcement, international oil and gold prices rose.
