Ukraine uses U.S.-made long-range missiles for first time inside Russia following U.S. policy shift
Russia reported that Ukraine has used U.S.-made longer-range missiles for the first time inside Russian territory. This follows a recent U.S. decision allowing Ukraine to strike deeper into Russia, a request Ukraine has made for some time. The U.S. has provided Ukraine with Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS), which have a range of up to 300 kilometers. This marks a shift from previous restrictions on Ukraine's use of U.S. weapons, which were limited to defending its own territory. The impact of this decision remains uncertain. While it could complicate Russian military operations, analysts caution that the overall effect may be limited due to Ukraine's existing challenges and the restricted supply of ATACMS.
