Ukraine Given Permission to Use US Missiles in Specific Region of Russia

According to recent reports, the United States has lifted its restriction on Ukraine using long-range missiles on Russian territory, but this applies only to a specific region. The Kursk region, where North Korean soldiers are stationed, is the only area where Ukraine is allowed to use these missiles.

Controversy Over Decision

This decision has sparked controversy, especially as it follows North Korea’s offer to support Russia by sending troops. Some believe this move could provoke North Korea into sending additional reinforcements to the Russian Armed Forces.

The decision was made by the US three days prior and was communicated to Kiev accordingly. The US sees this move as a strategy to potentially deter North Korea from bolstering Russia’s military strength.

Russian Response

Russia has responded to the lifting of these restrictions, with Vladimir Dzhabarov, the first deputy head of the Russian upper house’s international affairs committee, warning that it could trigger a Third World War. Similarly, Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned of direct confrontation with the West if Ukraine is allowed to strike Russian territory with Western-made long-range missiles.

Implications for Ukraine

Allowing Ukraine to strike with long-range missiles is seen as a crucial part of President Volodimir Zelensky’s “Plan for Victory.” Until this point, the US had banned Ukraine from using its ATAC-MS missiles to strike Russian territory.

Conclusion

This decision marks a significant shift in the US’s stance on the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, with potential implications for global geopolitics. As the situation continues to evolve, all eyes will be on the involved parties and their subsequent actions.
