Russia reported on Monday that it intercepted U.S.-supplied ATACMS long-range missiles launched by Ukraine. This follows President Biden's approval for Ukraine to target areas within Russia. The ATACMS missiles are designed for long-range strikes but are not expected to significantly change the dynamics of the conflict. Russia's defense claims highlight ongoing tensions and military exchanges between the two nations. This development marks a shift in Ukraine's military strategy, as it seeks to expand its operational reach. However, Russia's ability to intercept these missiles suggests continued challenges for Ukraine in achieving its military objectives.
