Strikes on Russia with Western weapons
In recent weeks, several of Ukraine's allies have authorized the Ukrainian Armed Forces to use provided weapons for strikes on Russian territory.
Specifically, the United States has permitted the use of its weapons for such attacks. However, Washington has clarified that long-range ATACMS missiles are still not allowed to be used against Russia.
