Ukraine aims to shift war dynamics with US long-range missiles as conflict reaches 1,000 days

thesun.co.uk

Ukraine may significantly change the course of the war within six weeks, following the U.S. decision to allow the use of long-range ATACMS missiles. These missiles can strike targets up to 190 miles away, potentially disrupting Russian supply lines. This development comes as Ukraine marks 1,000 days of conflict, during which Russian forces have made slow gains. Analysts suggest that the ability to target deep within Russian territory could provide Ukraine with leverage in future negotiations, especially with a potential change in U.S. leadership. Russia has reacted strongly, warning of severe consequences, including nuclear responses, if Ukraine uses these missiles. However, experts believe such threats are largely empty, as Russia has not followed through on similar warnings in the past.
