Despite reports previously that U.S. President Donald J. Trump had asked and even urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to launch strikes against targets in Russia, the Wall Street Journal is now reporting that the Pentagon for months has been blocking Ukraine’s use of long-range missiles to strike targets inside Russia, limiting Kyiv from employing a powerful weapon in its fight against Moscow.
According to the report, Elbridge Colby, Undersecretary of Defense for Policy, developed a previously unannounced “review mechanism” to decide on Kyiv’s requests to fire long-range rockets and missile provided by the United States, as well as those provided to Ukraine by European allies that rely on American intelligence and components, which includes the Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS). The review gives Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth final say over whether Ukraine can employ the ATACMS, which have a range of nearly 190 miles, to strike military targets inside Russia.
In a Truth Social post made on Thursday, U.S. President Trump said Ukraine couldn’t defeat Russia unless it could “play offense” in the war, stating: “It is very hard, if not impossible, to win a war without attacking an invaders country. It’s like a great team in sports that has a fantastic defense, but is not allowed to play offensive. There is no chance of winning! It is like that with Ukraine and Russia. Crooked and grossly incompetent Joe Biden would not let Ukraine FIGHT BACK, only DEFEND defend — Interesting times ahead!!!”
Seems to only apply to ATACMS tho, as Ukrane needs US for targeting ATACMS - another reason why they need to eventually replace all UIS weapons systems that require any American approvals. I doubt there is this restriction with the Flamingo as this is Ukraone's own missile,
