Part 2/8:
Amidst this turmoil, a major point of discussion has involved the provision of missile support to Ukraine from the West. The current narrative suggests that Ukraine has been granted access to long-range missiles capable of striking targets within Russia. However, experts clarify that these "long-range" systems are, in fact, short-range missiles, namely the ATACMS, which boasts a range of 300 km as opposed to intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs).
This miscommunication about the capabilities of the weapons at Ukraine's disposal leads to significant implications for the conflict. Most importantly, it demonstrates that a substantial portion of Russian territory is now within range for Ukrainian forces, which could potentially alter the dynamics of military operations.
