US decision to allow Kyiv to use Atacms on Russian targets heaps pressure on German chancellor to send Tauruses
Chancellor Olaf Scholz is coming under growing pressure to drop his resistance to sending German-made cruise missiles to Ukraine after the US allowed Kyiv limited use of its weapons for strikes inside Russia. US President Joe Biden has authorised Ukraine to launch limited strikes into Russia’s Kursk region using US-made Atacms long-range missiles, a major policy shift before Donald Trump takes office in January.
He was criticised by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for holding an hour-long phone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin last Friday, his first in nearly two years. Zelenskyy accused him of “opening Pandora’s box”. EU chief diplomat Josep Borrell said he hoped other EU member states would follow the US decision to allow Ukraine to strike targets in Russia.
