Biden Administration Approves ATACMS Missile Use by Ukraine Amid Tensions with Russia
The Biden administration has authorized Ukraine to use long-range ATACMS missiles on Russian territory, prompting warnings from the Kremlin about potential escalation and the risk of a third world war. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expresses cautious optimism over the decision, which comes after months of requests. Russian missile strikes have recently caused casualties in various Ukrainian cities, amidst increased military support from Western allies. European leaders, including Josep Borrell and Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, affirm their backing for Ukraine while concerns grow over Germany’s reluctance to supply long-range missiles.
