However, the Ukrainian authorities again appealed to the United States to give permission to use ATACMS for blows to the military airfields of the Russian Federation. About it writes The Washington Post.
"Ukrainian officials appealed to Washington to allow them to use a distant radius of US ATACMS to hit the aerodromes that Russia uses in response to the invasion - a decision that, if approved, can allow Kiev for some time to keep some of the Kursk," - Under the conditions of anonymity, the adviser to the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said. He noted that this would give Ukraine the necessary levers to negotiate with Russia.
According to the newspaper, it is difficult for him to tell what the exact purpose of Ukraine's invasion of Ukraine, except for the potential distraction of Russian troops from the Eastern Donetsk region of Ukraine. One of the estimates has shown that Ukrainians try to impede the Russian forces moving to the Kharkiv region to the southeast of Sumy and that Ukraine wants to overstretch Russian troops rather than seize the terrain and keep it for a long time.
"Russia has no living force where it could send reinforcements, maintaining its current position and the number of forces both in the Kharkiv area and in the East," the other official said. "We need to take the strength from somewhere. " It should be reminded that a series of powerful explosions sounded in the Ryl district of Kursk region of the Kursk region, and a large fire was raised in Stepanivka village.
