The U.S. has reportedly approved Ukraine's use of long-range missile systems, allowing strikes deep into Russian territory. This marks a significant shift in support, as Ukraine has sought this capability for two years. The Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) can reach targets up to 300 kilometers away, potentially disrupting Russian supply lines. The decision comes amid escalating tensions, including the deployment of North Korean troops to the front lines. Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelenskyy acknowledged the approval but emphasized that actions will speak louder than words. Experts suggest that while the missiles may not drastically change the war's dynamics, they could help weaken Russian military logistics.
