(MENAFN- UkrinForm) The United States has responded to Russia's reported use of North Korean troops and its latest large-scale missile attack on Ukraine by permitting Ukraine to strike targets inside Russia using ATACMS missiles.
Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said this in a post on X , according to Ukrinform.
"President Biden responded to the entry of North Korean troops into the war and the massive Russian missile strike in a language that Putin understands -- by lifting restrictions on Ukraine's use of Western missiles. The victim of aggression has the right to defend itself. Strength deters, weakness provokes," Sikorski wrote.
