KYIV, Ukraine - Russian President Vladimir Putin said Wednesday it was a"mistake" for Washington to give Ukraine long-range ATACMS missiles, warning they would not affect the frontline and would prolong Ukraine's"agony.”
The decision to supply the missiles had been"another mistake on the part of the United States," he said."It just prolongs the agony." "They have performed very accurately. ATACMS have proven themselves," he said in an evening address Tuesday.Putin's comments came as Kyiv warned Russian forces were likely to escalate their assault on the frontline town of Avdiivka, as Moscow continued shelling nearby Ukrainian positions.
The town has become a symbol of Ukrainian resistance against Moscow, with Kyiv clinging on there despite relentless Russian attacks during the Kremlin's almost 20-month long offensive. A 31-year-old woman was killed in a strike on a town just outside the city of Dnipro, Ukraine's internal affairs minister Igor Klymenko said.
