5 giug 2024 anni - "Ukraine Strikes Into Russia With Western
Weapons, Official Says"
NY TImes 2024 June 5
Descrizione:
In early June 2024, Ukraine launched a military strike into Russian territory using U.S.-supplied weapons, following a recent policy change by the Biden administration that allowed such actions. Ukrainian forces targeted and destroyed Russian missile launchers in the Belgorod region using the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS). This marked the first publicly acknowledged instance of Ukraine using American weapons to strike inside Russia. The strike aimed to preemptively neutralize threats to Ukraine and was part of a broader effort to defend against Russian attacks. The U.S. imposed limitations on the use of these weapons, allowing strikes only near northeastern Ukraine and for defensive purposes. The move has increased tensions, with Russia warning of serious consequences for such actions.
