Biden’s approval of the use of long-range missiles by Ukraine against Russia

According to Isna, media sources announced that US President Joe Biden agreed with Ukraine’s use of long-range missiles against targets on Russian soil.

The American publication “New York Times” quoted American officials as claiming that these missiles will initially be used against “Russian and North Korean forces” and in defense of Ukrainian forces in “Kursk” located in western Russia.

Previously, the American media quoted the Pentagon as claiming the presence of at least 12,000 North Korean soldiers in the war in Ukraine. Analysts described the reason for this claim as an attempt to justify the increase in US aid to Ukraine.

In this regard, the New York Times wrote: “Biden’s decision is a huge change in American politics. This decision has divided his advisers into several groups. On the other hand, his agreement with Ukraine’s use of American long-range missiles takes place 2 months before the inauguration of Donald Trump, a person against helping Ukraine.”

An American official also told this publication: “Washington’s decision to issue a license to use ATACMS long-range missiles (ATACMS) was made in response to Russia’s decision to use North Korean military forces.”

According to the New York Times, this decision will not change the course of the war in favor of Ukraine, but merely “a warning to North Korea” so that “Pyongyang understands that its forces are at risk.”

This publication added: “According to (American) officials, Ukraine is expected to initially use Atacoms missiles to attack Russian and North Korean forces in the direction of the Kursk front. But Biden may decide to issue permission to increase the targets of these missiles.”

The New York Times also wrote that many American officials are afraid of Ukraine’s use of long-range missiles against Russia and the possible reaction of Russian President Vladimir Putin to this decision.

Russian officials, including Putin and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, had warned about this move and declared that such a decision would mean NATO entering the war against Russia directly.

Nevertheless, the American publication claimed that Russia is looking to use 50,000 troops, including North Korean forces, to recapture Kursk, and that Ukraine can reduce the intensity of Russian attacks by using Atacoms missiles.

This claim comes at a time when Russia has recovered almost half of the territory it lost in the August attack on Ukraine, and NATO members believe that Putin hopes to return to power before Trump returns to power on January 20 next year. , take back this area. Trump has said that he supports negotiations that could ultimately lead to an end to the war in Ukraine.

America’s limited stockpile of long-range missiles

According to the New York Times, in addition to the American authorities’ fear of Russia’s reaction to Biden’s decision, Pentagon officials are against providing this type of missile to Ukraine due to the limited stock of long-range missiles in the United States and the long process of its production.

Some White House officials also believe that Putin will increase the scope of the war in response to Biden’s decision.

These developments are happening while in 2 months, “Donald Trump”, the president-elect of the United States, will enter the White House and Biden will no longer be the president of this country. Trump has always promised to end the war in Ukraine within “24 hours”.

He has not announced his policy to achieve this goal, but according to the New York Times, American aid to Ukraine will probably be cut off or “very limited” in the Trump administration.

However, the American publication reported that “Biden was persuaded to make the change by Russia’s audacity to use North Korean forces in the Ukraine war.”

According to U.S. officials, Biden also worried that Russian forces would be able to overpower Ukrainian forces in Kursk if Ukrainian forces were not allowed to defend with long-range weapons.

However, according to the New York Times, this decision will not change the course of the war.

While referring to the war in Ukraine and the situation of this war-torn European country, CNN recently reported: “Victory defined by the Ukrainian government as the withdrawal of Russian forces from all Ukrainian territories is impossible.”

More than 2 and a half years have passed since the war in Ukraine and there is still no prospect of peace in this country. This is while some Western countries, especially the United States of America, insist on sending financial and military aid to Kiev instead of focusing on diplomatic solutions to resolve this conflict, and on the other hand, Russia has repeatedly pointed out that the continuation of such a process will only increase the war. It makes it longer.

In the continuation of the report, CNN emphasizes: “The negative outlook on the future of Ukraine has darkened and weakened the morale of the country’s allies, and they no longer discuss and consult about Kiev’s dominance on the battlefield, but rather talk about the fact that Ukraine currently has territories in has authority, so the Kremlin can be forced to negotiate.”
