Reports that Biden permitted Ukraine to fire ATACMS missiles at Russian territory surfaced more than a week ago, Orda.kz reports.
The day before, White House Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby officially commented on this matter.
Right now, they are able to use ATACMS to defend themselves, you know, in an immediate-need basis. And right now, you know, understandably, that’s taking place in and around Kursk, in the Kursk Oblast. I’d let the Ukrainians speak to their use of ATACMS and their targeting procedures, and what they’re using them for and how well they’re doing,
Kirby said at a briefing.
US State Department spokesman Brian Nichols also previously confirmed the authorization.
Before the official statement from the White House, Ukraine had struck targets on Russian territory at least three times with ATACMS missiles.
