**US Changes Policy on Arms for Ukraine**
The US President, Joe Biden, has made some key changes in how he helps Ukraine. He now says it’s okay to give Ukraine longer-range missiles and special land mines that hurt people, not buildings.
These changes come at a tough time for Ukraine. They are losing battles and might soon have to talk with Russia about ending the war. Some US officials think Ukraine could be forced to give up some land to stop the fighting.
**Earlier Help Was Slow**
Until now, the US had been careful not to give Ukraine too many strong weapons. This was because they didn’t want to make things worse for Ukraine and Russia. But critics say this made Russia feel like it could do what it wanted without being stopped by the US.
One former top US official said that if the US had given Ukraine more help earlier, it might have been able to resist Russian aggression better.
**US Allies Are Frustrated**
The countries that are friends with the US and want to stop Russia from hurting Ukraine are frustrated. They wish the US had given them more help when they needed it most.
