Ukraine plans to conduct its first long-range attacks with US long-range missiles in the coming days, without disclosing details due to operational security concerns. This was reported by sources Reuters, writes UNN.
Details
According to sources, Ukraine will soon launch its first deep strikes using ATACMS missiles, which have a range of up to 306 km.
While some US officials have expressed skepticism that allowing long-range strikes will change the overall trajectory of the war, the decision could help Ukraine at a time when russian forces are making gains and possibly put Kyiv in a better bargaining position when and if ceasefire talks do take place.
It is unclear whether Trump will reverse Biden's decision when he takes office. Trump has long criticized the extent of US financial and military aid to Ukraine and promised to end the war quickly, without explaining how.
However, some Republicans in Congress have called on Biden to ease the rules for Ukraine's use of U.S.-provided weapons.
russia has warned that it will consider the easing of restrictions on Ukraine's use of American weapons as a serious escalation.
Recall
According to The New York Times, US President Joe Biden has authorized Ukraine to use long-range missiles to strike russian territory.
According to U.S. officials, the weapons are likely to be used initially against russian and North Korean troops to protect Ukrainian forces in the kursk region of western russia.
