The Ukrainian president cautiously welcomed Washington's announcement on the missiles, contenting himself with noting that these weapons “will speak for themselves.”
Recalling on Sunday, in his evening address, the importance of the “long-range capability” of his army, Volodymyr Zelensky noted that “today, many media are reporting that we have received authorization to take appropriate measures “. “But strikes are not carried out using words. Things like that are not announced.”
Following Joe Biden's green light, American missiles with a maximum range of several hundred kilometers will allow Ukraine to reach logistical sites of the Russian army and airfields from which its bombers take off.
The ATACMS missiles supplied by the United States are initially expected to be used in the Russian border region of Kursk, where North Korean soldiers have been deployed in support of Russian troops, according to the New York Timeswhich cites U.S. officials speaking on condition of anonymity. The decision by Washington to authorize Ukraine to use these missiles came in reaction to this deployment of North Korean troops, according to these officials.
