The United States has officially confirmed that it has authorized Ukraine to use U.S.-made ATACMS long-range missiles against Russia, specifically allowing strikes deep inside Russian territory, including the Kursk region. National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby stated that Ukraine has permission to use ATACMS missiles for immediate self-defense needs, acknowledging a change in policy. This reflects growing U.S. support for Ukraine amid ongoing conflict with Russia and comes as Ukraine has reportedly carried out two such strikes in the last three days.
