Ukraine is trying to get permission to use long-range Western weapons against Russia, ‘but so far in vain,’ Der Spiegel writes. As the German publication notes, Kiev could try to hit 261 Russian targets with such weapons.
Among the targets the Ukrainian army is considering are weapons depots and military deployment points, the magazine claimed.
The New York Times wrote that U.S. intelligence warned Western authorities against granting permission to the Ukrainian armed forces to strike deep into Russia with foreign long-range weapons.
According to Russian President Vladimir Putin, the West’s authorization of strikes deep into Russian territory would be a direct entry of NATO into the conflict in Ukraine, which would change its essence.
