Biden lets Ukraine hit Russia with long-range missiles

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy has intensified tensions with Russia following the Biden administration’s controversial decision to allow Ukraine to conduct long-range missile strikes within Russian borders.

The approval, reported by The Gateway Pundit, enables Ukraine to deploy the formidable Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) against Russian targets. This decision comes as a response to North Korea’s recent military support to Russia.

The ATACMS, a sophisticated supersonic missile system capable of delivering cluster munitions or conventional warheads, boasts a striking range of approximately 190 miles. Initial strikes are expected to target the Kursk region, with potential for expanded operations.

This strategic shift marks a departure from previous U.S. policy, which had restricted Ukraine from launching ATACMS into Russian territory due to concerns about potential escalation. Putin has consistently warned that such actions could trigger a full-scale war with the U.S. and NATO, even suggesting the possibility of nuclear retaliation.

Following Biden’s authorization, Zelenskyy issued a stern message to Russia. This development threatens to derail recent peace initiatives, including President Trump’s diplomatic efforts through direct communications with both Zelenskyy and Putin.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy: “The plan to strengthen Ukraine is the victory plan which I presented to our partners. One of its key points is long range capabilities for our army. Today there is a lot of talk in the media about receiving permission for respective actions. Strikes are not carried out with words; such things are not announced. Missiles will speak for themselves — they certainly will.”

Zelenskyy further emphasized his position on social media, stating: “I am deeply grateful to all our partners who support us with air defense systems and missiles. This is a truly global effort. Every time Russia carries out such attacks, it underscores how critical it is that partners don’t leave systems like Patriot and others sitting idle in warehouses, but instead provide them to those who know how to protect lives and urgently need them.

Putin in September: If Ukraine uses U.S. long-range missiles to strike Russia, the "United States is at war with Russia."

Biden in November: *Authorizes Ukraine to use US long-range missiles to strike Russia.*

We still haven’t received all the necessary systems from our allies—but we continue to work toward that goal. Once these systems are in place, our ability to repel attacks will be much stronger.

One more thing: The plan for strengthening Ukraine is the Victory Plan that I presented to our partners. One of its key elements is providing our army with long-range capabilities. There’s been much said in the media today that we have received approval to take relative actions. But strikes are not carried out with words. These things are not announced. The missiles will speak for themselves.”
