Ukraine has hit six military targets inside Russia using the Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) after the Biden White House granted new permissions to hit on Russian soil. The strike applies pressure on Russia and helps Ukraine gain leverage in the conflict. ATACMS is a highly precise missile system that minimizes collateral damage and is already in use by several NATO partners. The strike does not increase the nuclear threat and is seen as a tactical move to maintain a strong defense and put pressure on Russia for negotiation purposes.
