According to the Russian military, Ukraine has utilized long-range missiles to target the Bryansk Region.
As reported by The Times on Tuesday, the Ukrainian military is believed to have received approximately 50 ATACMS missiles from the United States thus far. The Pentagon has not publicly disclosed any specific figures pertaining to these munitions.
The British newspaper noted that Ukraine's military possesses “plenty” of HIMARS and MLRS systems capable of firing the long-range missiles, with the first launchers being delivered to Kyiv within months after the escalation of the conflict with Russia in 2022.
However, the report emphasized that due to the limited number of ATACMS missiles available, military commanders in Kyiv will need to “choose carefully when they select targets inside Russia.”
On Tuesday, the Russian Defense Ministry stated that Ukraine launched six long-range ATACMS missiles into the Bryansk border region. Of these, five were intercepted by air defense systems, while one was damaged and struck the ground near a military base.
The topic of authorizing the use of US-supplied long-range missiles by Kyiv for strikes deep within Russia has been under consideration by the White House for over two years. On Sunday, the New York Times reported, citing unnamed American officials, that outgoing President Joe Biden had lifted the restrictions.
This development was later corroborated by the EU’s outgoing foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky asserted that several other Western nations had also granted permission for Ukraine to use their long-range missiles against recognized Russian territory.
On Monday, US Deputy National Security Adviser Jonathan Finer avoided questions from the media regarding Biden’s authorization, stating he was not “confirming any decisions that have or have not been made about US assistance” concerning operational matters.
Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that such a move would alter the dynamics of the Ukraine conflict, positioning NATO as a direct participant. He also updated Russia’s nuclear doctrine to permit a strategic response to a conventional attack by a proxy of a nuclear power.
