“Ukraine plans to carry out the first long-range strikes in the coming days, the sources said, without disclosing the details for reasons of operational security,” the article says.
The sources said that the first long-range strikes are most likely to be carried out by ATACMS missiles, which have a range of up to 306 km.
The White House declined to comment.
According to the article, while some US officials are skeptical that authorizing long-range strikes against Russia will change the overall trajectory of the war, the decision could help Ukraine at a time when Russian forces are making gains and possibly put Kyiv in a better negotiating position , when and if the ceasefire talks take place.
However, the newspaper notes, it is not known whether President-elect Donald Trump will reverse Biden’s decision when he takes office.
What preceded: Before that, the American publication The New York Times reported that Biden had for the first time allowed the Ukrainian military to use ATACMS long-range missiles to strike the territory of Russia. According to the publication’s sources, the weapons will probably be used first against Russian and North Korean troops in the Kursk region.
