President Joe Biden's authorization allows Ukrainian forces to deploy U.S.-manufactured Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) in the Kursk region, located along the northeastern border between Russia and Ukraine. These missiles, with a range of around 190 miles and significant explosive power, are expected to be used in strategic strikes. Ukraine, which has been seeking permission for months to use American missiles, expressed readiness to deploy the newly authorized weapons following significant military setbacks.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian urged“the cooling down of the situation as soon as possible,” emphasizing the need for“an early ceasefire and a political solution” during a regular briefing, AFP reported.
