Ukraine's Use of US-Supplied ATACMS Missiles Raises Concerns
TL;DR
Russia's ambassador to the US, Anatoly Antonov, criticized the US decision to send long-range ATACMS missiles to Ukraine, calling it a grave mistake with serious consequences. The US confirmed providing Ukraine with ATACMS capable of hitting targets up to 165 km away. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy confirmed the use of ATACMS after striking two air bases in Ukrainian territory controlled by Russia. While Ukraine sees the missiles as a game-changer in the ongoing conflict, Russia downplayed their impact. Antonov accused the US of pushing for a direct conflict between NATO and Russia.
