Ukraine has escalated its missile strikes using US-supplied ATACMS against Russia’s Kursk Region, targeting military facilities over the past few days. In retaliation, Russia is preparing a counter-response, with President Putin testing a new hypersonic missile. The strikes have intensified tensions as both sides brace for further conflict. The US authorization for Ukraine to use long-range missiles deep inside Russia’s borders marks a significant shift in the ongoing war dynamics.

The Washington Post reported that U.S. officials are quietly acknowledging that Ukraine may soon have no choice but to negotiate with Russia, potentially sacrificing territory it considers its own. As Russian forces continue to reclaim land, particularly in the Kursk Region, and with Donald Trump set to return to the White House in January, Ukraine finds itself in a weakened position after nearly three years of conflict. The Biden administration's strategic shift includes authorizing the use of long-range ATACMS missiles and banned landmines to bolster Ukraine’s military stance ahead of any potential talks with Russia. Despite Ukraine’s rejection of territorial concessions, U.S. officials and European allies are concerned that Kyiv might have to compromise, especially as Moscow responds with increasingly advanced weapons, including hypersonic missiles. Meanwhile, Russian President Putin warns of severe retaliation for any further escalation by Ukraine or its international backers

The White House has officially confirmed a policy shift, allowing Ukraine to strike targets within Russia using U.S.-supplied Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS). National Security Council spokesman John Kirby stated that Ukraine now has the green light to deploy these weapons for immediate defensive needs, particularly in areas like Russia's Kursk region. This move follows heightened speculation over the past week, during which Kyiv reportedly used ATACMS in strikes on Russia’s Bryansk region.
The U.S. and NATO allies have continuously supplied advanced weaponry to Ukraine since 2022 while asserting that this support does not make them direct participants in the conflict. However, Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly warned of severe repercussions, including nuclear escalation, if NATO’s involvement crosses certain thresholds. In September, Putin emphasized that Kyiv's use of long-range weapons could alter the nature of the war, effectively drawing NATO into direct confrontation.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot has stated that Ukraine may use French missiles to attack targets in internationally recognized Russian territory, without specifying whether such strikes have already occurred. Barrot stated that Paris does "not set and express red lines" in its support for Kiev, and that long-range strikes on Russian soil may be carried out by Ukraine "in the logics of self-defense." France supplied Ukraine with an unknown number of SCALP-EG cruise missiles.
