Russia has claimed that Ukraine has fired long-range missiles supplied by the US on its territory for the first time. According to a report in the New York Times, the Russian Defense Ministry said that Ukraine fired six long-range Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missiles in the Bryansk region on Tuesday morning.

Russia said that they have shot down 5 missiles. According to the report, Ukrainian and US officials have also confirmed the use of ATACMS on Russia. The US and Ukrainian governments have not made any statement on this matter.

Russian President Putin had threatened the US in September that a nuclear war would break out if the US approved the use of long-range weapons.

ATACMS is a supersonic ballistic missile system. It can attack with precision up to 300 km.

Ukraine has the US Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS). In fact, two days ago, US President Biden had given Ukraine permission to use long-range missiles within Russia.

The US had given ATACMS missiles to Ukraine in October 2023, but according to the conditions, it could use it against enemies within its own land. The US had earlier asked not to use it on Russia because it was feared that the Russia-Ukraine war would become more dangerous. But now that restriction has been lifted.

Just two days after Ukraine got permission for ATACMS missiles, Russian President Putin has approved a decision related to allowing the use of nuclear weapons. Ukraine war completed 1000 days on Tuesday.

According to this, if a country which does not have nuclear weapons attacks Russia with the support of a nuclear power country, then it will be considered a declaration of war against Russia. In such a situation, Moscow can use nuclear weapons.

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has said that the Third World War has begun. Medvedev said on his Telegram channel that the US has started it by allowing Ukraine to launch missile attacks inside Russia.

Medvedev said that Biden wants half the world to be destroyed in a nuclear attack. The Biden administration is deliberately taking such decisions to provoke Russia. The Trump team will have to deal with this.

The former Russian president said-

Because of Biden's decision, Russia has had to change its new nuclear doctrine. This means that NATO missiles fired against our country will be considered an attack on Russia. Russia can attack Ukraine or any NATO country with nuclear weapons.

For some time now, the US and Britain were considering giving Ukraine permission to use long-range missiles. On this, Russian President Putin had warned that giving permission to use such weapons would mean that NATO has gone to war against Russia. He had said that if this happens, they will definitely respond to it.

Putin said on a state TV channel that a lot will change if the US allows Ukraine to use long-range missiles. The use of these weapons is not possible without satellites. Ukraine does not have such technology. This can only be done with the help of European Union satellites or American satellites.

Putin also said that only NATO military personnel have received training to use these missile systems. Ukrainian soldiers cannot operate these missiles.

Ukraine was asking permission from America and Britain to use long-range attack weapons for a long time. In fact, America had given long-range Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missiles to Ukraine in October 2023 itself, but according to the conditions, it could use it against enemies within its own land. Now that restriction has been lifted.

Earlier, France had also given Ukraine long-range Storm Shadow missiles. It can hit targets up to 250 kilometers, but its condition was that Ukraine should use it only within its borders.
