Seoul given prior notice by US on reported decision to let Ukraine use long-range missiles against Russia

It is a matter that requires careful examination and coordination among the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, the U.S., its allies, including South Korea,

the official added

As allies, South Korea and the U.S. can exchange necessary weapons if needed,

the official said

We have made clear that we will always adapt and adjust the capabilities that we provide to Ukraine when it's appropriate to do so. And you have seen us back that up with steps that we have taken over the several years."

Quote from Matthew Miller

Péter Szijjártóhungarian Foreign Minister

Then there is the demand of Ukrainians and the permissive opinion of some NATO member countries regarding the invitation of Ukraine to NATO,

Szijjártó said

One has the feeling that the pro-war political elites on both sides of the ocean are launching one last desperate, scalding attack on the new realities and the will of the people,

he said

Today there were no decisions on this. Each country will do what it feels is appropriate. The American administration said ‘no’ for a long time, and now they are saying ‘yes’."

Quote from Borrell

Unlike [U.S. President Joe] Biden, Trump immediately announced his ultimate goal to stop the war. The question is — how is he going to do that?"

Zagorodnyuk said

Ukraine has been asking for this for years, not months,

Zagorodnyuk told VOA

Operationally, these missiles can target Russian storage facilities, command centers, and even North Korean troops preparing for offensive actions,

Strikes are not made with words,

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in his nightly address

If a new administration pulls back on military aid or restricts Ukraine’s ability to strike, it could significantly weaken Ukraine’s position on the battlefield and at the negotiating table,

he said

The Military Industrial Complex seems to want to make sure they get World War 3 going before my father has a chance to create peace and save lives,

Trump Jr said

ATACMS will significantly enhance Ukraine's ability to disrupt Russian operations deep behind the front lines,

Andriy Zagorodnyuk, Ukraine's former defense minister, told The Financial Times

Providing ATACMS is a costly but necessary step to ensure Ukraine can effectively counter Russian aggression,

said George Barros, a defense analyst at the Institute for the Study of War

This will further affect Russia's willingness to engage in negotiations, as this incident reveals the distrust that Western countries have toward Russia and their desire to weaken Russia to the greatest extent possible,

Cui said

With the US allowing Ukraine to use long-range weapons to strike Russian territory, the situation is likely to worsen, and it may even spiral into further escalation,

the expert said

Debates are already raging in the offices about allowing the use of Western missiles against Russian territory,

The article replaces the earlier assertion with the statement ... Kyiv Post reported

Today, there's a lot of talk in the media about us receiving permission for respective actions,

he said

If such a decision was really formulated and brought to the attention of the Kyiv regime, then, of course, this is a qualitatively new round of tension and a qualitatively new situation in terms of the involvement of the United States in this conflict,

spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told Russian media

But strikes are not carried out with words. Such things are not announced. Missiles will speak for themselves,

he added
