When was this permission given? My local news ran this piece as well from politico. And no date was mentioned about when permission was given.

It really feels like the large media conglomerates had this in their back pocket and sat on it until the Drumpf conviction. Makes it a bad attempt to scream "but see, the current president is worse because xxx"

The decision was made by Biden on May 17 but it was finalized and conveyed to the Pentagon on May 27 or 28.

They earlier tried to keep it under wraps to avoid retaliation from Russia but the information was leaked.

Thanks for providing more information on it.

Anymore, all media and timing needs verified instead of blindly believing headlines.
