Ukraine plans strikes on key Russian targets with US-supplied missiles

thesun.co.uk

Ukraine is set to target key locations deep within Russia using long-range US-supplied ATACMS missiles. This follows President Joe Biden's decision to lift a previous ban on such strikes, marking a significant shift in US policy amid the ongoing conflict. The ATACMS missiles have a range of 190 miles, allowing Ukraine to strike areas like Rostov and Voronezh, as well as frontline positions. This escalation comes as North Korean troops are reported to be supporting Russia in the Kursk region. Russia has responded by warning that these missile strikes would be viewed as a declaration of war. Kremlin officials have expressed concerns about the potential for increased tensions and the risk of a broader conflict involving NATO.
