“The plan to strengthen Ukraine is a winning plan that I have presented to our partners. One of the important points is the long range of our forces. Today, we are authorized to take appropriate action. There has been a lot of talk in the media about the fact that we have obtained the right to do so,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on his social media.
“But the blow will not be dealt in words. Such things will not be announced. The missiles will speak for themselves. Of course. Glory to Ukraine,” added the Ukrainian president.
The United States consents to the use of ATACMS. Russia also agrees
American media reported that President Joe Biden has decided to agree to the use of ATACMS missiles inside Russian territory. The missile has a range of 300 km. So far, Kiev has been able to attack with the HIMARS system with a range of 80 kilometers.
The US decision is related to the expected attack in Kursk Oblast and North Korea's actions to send soldiers to Ukraine and support Russia. The use of ATACMS is intended to be a “signal” to North Korea to stop supporting Moscow.
A Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson told TASS that President Vladimir Putin has already mentioned the possibility of using long-range weapons on the territory of the Russian Federation.
“This means that NATO countries, the United States and European countries are at war with Russia,” the Russian president said in September.
