Residents of Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, have expressed a mix of gratitude, optimism, and frustration in response to US President Joe Biden's decision to allow the use of ATACMS missiles. The decision permits striking targets deep inside Russia with American-made weapons, a move that many feel should have been granted sooner.
While the exact number of ATACMS missiles available to Ukraine and the specific targets in Russia remain unclear, a US official indicated that the weapons are primarily intended for use in the Kursk region, where Ukraine launched a surprise counteroffensive in the summer.
