US President Joe Biden recently authorized Kyiv to use Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) weapons provided by the US to strike inside Russia, a move that has been met with relief by many. However, some, like Alexander Khara, the executive director of Ukraine’s Centre for Defence Strategies, feel that this authorization came too late.
Khara expressed his concerns about the timing of the decision, stating, 'We lost too much time. We are just wondering why it did not happen two years ago.' He highlighted the anxiety among Ukrainians regarding the potential actions of former US President Donald Trump, who had raised doubts about the US commitment to supporting Kyiv during his campaign.
