Ukraine wants to agree with the US on ATACMS strikes on Russian airfields

Official Kyiv is negotiating with the United States to obtain permission to use ATACMS ballistic missiles to strike military airfields in Russia.

This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to The Washington Post.

Presidential adviser Volodymyr Zelenskyy told the publication on condition of anonymity that ATACMS strikes are needed to destroy fighters at Russian airfields, which the aggressor uses for retaliatory strikes. This will allow the Ukrainian Armed Forces to keep the areas of Kursk region under their control.

"It will give them the leverage they need to negotiate with Russia - that's what it's all about," the adviser said.
