US Clears Way for Ukraine to Strike Russia with American-Made Missiles

In a significant escalation, Ukraine's military utilized American-made ATACMS missiles to strike into Russia for the first time yesterday, according to senior U.S. and Ukrainian sources.

This development comes on the heels of two days ago when the Biden administration authorized Ukraine to employ the U.S.-supplied ballistic missiles for attacks within Russia's borders for the first time, marking a substantial shift in policy.

The ATACMS munitions are well-known as Army Tactical Missile Systems.

Ukraine had been aggressively advocating for this endorsement, which is expected to occur in the final months of President Joe Biden's term. Meanwhile, former President Donald J. Trump has vowed to hasten an end to the ongoing war in Ukraine when he takes office.
