Russia-Ukraine War: For the first time in the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, Ukraine has attacked Russia with ATACMS missiles. For the first time since US President Joe Biden’s authorization, the Ukrainian military has used US long-range ATACMS missiles to strike inside Russia.
According to RBC Ukraine, the alleged attack came two days after Biden authorized the use of long-range US weapons for attacks inside Russia. According to the Daily Telegraph, for months Biden had refused to allow Ukraine to carry out such attacks due to fears of escalating tensions, but Biden changed his mind after Russia added 10,000 North Korean troops. .
Why did Joe Biden allow Ukraine to fire long-range missiles?
The newspaper reported that Biden saw North Korea’s deployment in Russia’s war against Ukraine as a condition that required permission to use such long-range missiles inside Russia. RBC Ukraine news agency quoted a source as saying that the attack was successfully carried out on a target in Karachev in Russia’s Bryansk region.
