Biden Administration Approves Long-Range Missiles for Ukraine Amid Ongoing Conflict
The Biden administration’s decision to allow Ukraine to use American-made long-range missiles against Russia follows a familiar pattern of initial denial, intense Ukrainian protests, and eventual approval. Experts question if the limited supply of Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) will significantly impact the battlefield. While Ukraine has managed to penetrate deeper into Russia using cheaper drones, the complexities of U.S. missile usage raise concerns over potential escalation and collateral damage. The move is seen as a response to increased military activity and aims to balance support for Ukraine with the risk of provoking Russia.
