So far, the White House has not commented on such information.
The administration of President Joe Biden will allow Ukraine to use weapons provided by the United States to strike deep into the territory of the Russian Federation . It is noted that the first long-range strikes will take place in the coming days. This was reported by sources for Reuters , without disclosing details for security reasons.
According to journalists, the White House refused to comment on such data.
Reuters reminded that this decision was made two months before the inauguration of the newly elected US President Donald Trump. It is known that the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyi, has repeatedly asked to allow the Ukrainian military to use American weapons to attack military facilities on the territory of the Russian Federation.
According to sources, the first deep strikes will most likely be delivered by ATACMS missiles, which have a range of up to 306 kilometers.
“While some U.S. officials have expressed skepticism that allowing long-range strikes will change the overall trajectory of the war, the decision could help Ukraine at a time when Russian forces are making gains and perhaps put Kyiv in a better negotiating position when and if negotiations on a cease-fire will take place,” the publication believes.
Reuters added that it is currently unknown whether Trump will reverse Biden’s decision when he takes office, as he has long criticized the amount of American financial and military aid to Ukraine, promising to end the war quickly, but without explaining how.
“Nevertheless, some Republicans in Congress called on Biden to relax the rules on how Ukraine can use weapons provided by the United States. Russia has warned that it will consider loosening restrictions on Ukraine’s use of American weapons as a serious escalation,” the article recalled.
Permission to strike the Russian Federation with American weapons – what is known
As UNIAN reported, US President Joe Biden allowed Ukraine to fire American ATACMS missiles on the territory of the Russian Federation , in particular, against Russian and North Korean troops in Kurshchyna. According to The New York Times, this decision was a “response” to Russia’s unexpected decision to send North Korean troops into battle.
The officials told the publication that, despite the fact that the Ukrainians will most likely use missiles primarily against the Russian and North Korean troops, Biden may allow them to strike other places as well.

“Reuters added that it is currently unknown whether Trump will reverse Biden’s decision when he takes office, as he has long criticized the amount of American financial and military aid to Ukraine, promising to end the war quickly, but without explaining how. ”
I don’t see how Trump can do anything if the missiles are used up before he takes office.
Indeed, Ukraine must act quickly before the roaches remove the most valuable assets out of range. I hope that the permission had been granted last week already!
Looks like we have Reuters to “thank” for this situation. Since when was it important to anyone that ATACMS strikes will be soon, except for the Kremlinals?
Where did they get the info from?
He could rescind the permission, which would affect any missiles not yet fired (possibly still en route to Ukraine), and potentially also apply to the long-range Storm Shadow/SCALP missiles that use US technology.
