Biden authorizes Ukraine to use long-range US missiles against Russia

President Biden has authorized Ukraine to use long-range Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) against Russian targets, lifting previous restrictions. These missiles can strike up to 190 miles, nearly doubling Ukraine's current missile range. The new policy allows attacks in the Kursk region, where Russia has stationed 50,000 troops. Experts suggest that while this is a positive step, it may not significantly impact the overall conflict, as many critical Russian military assets remain unaddressed. Analysts note that targeting infrastructure, such as railroads, could disrupt Russian supply lines. However, they emphasize that many valuable military targets are not included in current assessments, limiting the potential effectiveness of Ukraine's missile capabilities.
