The US has approved Ukraine’s use of long-range ATACMS missiles to strike Russian territory, marking a major policy shift. These powerful Lockheed Martin missiles can target up to 300 km, offering Ukraine new offensive capabilities. The decision, prompted by North Korean troops aiding Russia in Kursk and fears over Donald Trump’s stance on Ukraine aid, aims to bolster Kyiv’s position before potential peace talks. Ukrainian forces plan to defend occupied Kursk and target critical Russian infrastructure. Critics warn of escalation, with Vladimir Putin previously labeling such strikes as NATO aggression. Ukrainian President Zelensky remarked, "The missiles will speak for themselves."
