Ukraine Seeks Expanded Use of U.S. Long-Range Missiles Against Russia

Ukrainian commanders call for lifting restrictions on ATACMS to target deeper Russian positions as battlefield conditions evolve.

U.S.-supplied weapons have helped Ukraine push back Russian forces in the northeast.
Current U.S. policy restricts the use of ATACMS to within Ukrainian territory, limiting their effectiveness.
Ukrainian officials argue that lifting these restrictions would allow strikes on high-value targets inside Russia.
Recent successes include halting Russian advances and recapturing areas near Kharkiv.
American officials remain cautious about provoking Russia, despite Ukrainian pleas for policy changes.
