Their decision to allow it to strike deep in Russia with American long-range missiles can lead to World War III and will receive a rapid response, said Vladimir Jabarov, the vice president of the Federation Council’s Foreign Affairs Committee, according to the Russian TASS news agency. Reports and statements by American officials, said the US first gave the green light to Ukraine to bomb its territories with long-range missiles supplied by the Ukrainian army from the US. Zelensky: “The rockets speak for themselves” Ukrainian President Volontimir Zelensky said Sunday night (17/11/24) that “missiles speak for themselves” and “such sorts of things are not announced”… Poland: It is the “language understood by Russian President Putin” Washington’s authorization to Kiev is a “language he understands (Russian President Vladimir) Putin,” Polish Foreign Minister Radoslav Sikorski said. “At the entrance of North Korean troops to the war and mass Russian missile attack, the president (American Joe) Biden responded with a language understood by V. Putin,” Sikorski told X. According to the Polish minister, “the victim of an attack has the right to defend himself.” Poland has remained a firm supporter of Kiev since the start of the Russian invasion. The Ukrainian energy network, which has already suffered much damage, has received one of the largest Russian attacks in recent months this morning, with raids that killed nine people and were injured around 20 across the country, according to authorities. American officials: In a policy turn the Biden government gives the “green light” With its decision, American President Joe Biden accepts a long-term demand from Kiev, just before leaving the White House and the return of Donald Trump, who is critical of American aid in Ukraine. The missiles are initially expected to be used in the Russian border district of Kursk, where North Korean soldiers have been deployed to support Russian troops, according to American officials who spoke to the New York Times on condition that they are not named. The White House refused to comment on these reports. Ukraine has constantly asked its western allies for permission to hit Russian territory deeply with long-range missiles. However, many countries, including the US, refused to give this green light to date, in fear of an escalation with Moscow. Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned that such a decision would mean that “NATO countries are at war with Russia”. This Washington turn, which comes just over two months before President-elect Donald takes office Trump on January 20, comes after months of demands by Ukrainian President Volontimir Zelenski to allow the Ukrainian army to use American weapons to strike Russian military targets away from the border. The first deep blows are likely to occur using ATACMS missiles, which have a range of up to 306 km, according to sources. The policy change follows the deployment by Russia of North Korean troops to complement its own forces, a development that has triggered an alarm in Washington and Kiev. While some American officials have expressed scepticism that allowing long-range blows will change the overall course of the war, the decision could help Ukraine at a time when Russian forces are making profits and possibly put Kiev in a better negotiating position when and if ceasefire talks are held. In his campaign Trump did not hesitate to criticize the tens of billions of US aid dollars given to Ukraine since the start of the Russian invasion in February 2022. Trump, who will take over his presidential duties on January 20, has said he ended the war in “in 24 hours”, never explaining how. Ukraine is afraid of weakening American support, while its troops are facing difficulties on the front, or that an agreement will be imposed on it involving territorial concessions to Russia. It’s not clear if Trump will overturn this decision. Biden when he takes over his duties.
