A map has shown the Russian military bases in Ukraine that Army Tactical Missile Systems could strike with the U.S.’s permission.
ATACMS missiles are long-range missiles Ukraine has used during Russia’s full-scale invasion of the country, which began in February 2022.
On June 22, the Institute for the Study of War, a U.S. think tank, issued a campaign assessment that showed Ukraine could target some 16 percent of Russia’s ground sanctuary if it had permission to use the missiles within a certain range.
Kyiv first used the missiles in October to strike two Russian military bases in Ukraine, damaging numerous helicopters. They have also been used by Kyiv’s military on Russian targets in contested territory, including in Crimea, which Russia annexed from Ukraine in 2014.
In April, national security adviser Jake Sullivan said President Joe Biden had authorized sending a “significant number of ATACMS missiles” to Ukraine in February as part of a $300 million aid package.
