US allows Ukraine to use Atacms missiles against Russian targets in limited scope
The U.S. has lifted a ban on Ukraine using Atacms missiles to strike Russian territory, but the approval is limited to targets in the Kursk region. This change comes after months of discussions amid ongoing Russian attacks in Ukraine. Previously, the U.S. restricted Ukraine's use of long-range missiles due to concerns about escalating the conflict. The recent decision allows Ukraine to use Atacms, but only a limited number are available, raising doubts about their effectiveness. Frustration in Ukraine persists over the timing and scope of the U.S. policy change. Concerns remain about the potential for a shift in U.S. policy if Donald Trump returns to the presidency in January.
