Ukraine to Use Long-Range Missiles Against Russia: West Lifts Restrictions

Ukraine Conflict: West Lifts Restrictions on Long-Range Weapons Kyiv, Ukraine – In a major escalation of the conflict, Western nations have lifted restrictions on the use of long-range weapons by Ukrainian forces against Russian military targets. This decision marks a significant turning point in the war, granting Ukraine access to advanced weaponry such as ATACMS and Storm Shadow missiles. The move comes amidst intensified Russian attacks and aims to bolster Ukraine's defensive capabilities. The decision has been met with strong reactions. A spokesperson for the German government stated, "Someone who only repels an attack on their own territory cannot adequately defend themselves. Only someone who is also put in a position to attack military bases in the aggressor's territory can do so." Meanwhile, Moscow has accused Europe of direct participation in the war, warning that the supply of weapons makes them accomplices. The increased range of Ukrainian weaponry could significantly alter the dynamics of the conflict, potentially allowing strikes against Russian military infrastructure deep within Russian territory. The long-term consequences of this decision remain to be seen, but it undoubtedly represents a major escalation in the ongoing conflict.
