Ukrainian forces used U.S.-supplied long-range ATACMS missiles for the first time, inflicting heavy damage on two airfields in Russian-occupied areas, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy saying on Tuesday that the weapons had ¡°proven themselves.¡±
The Ukrainian military had issued reports throughout the day about successful, high-precision strikes on airfields near Luhansk in Ukraine¡¯s east and in Berdiansk in the south, on the Sea of Azov, both under Russian control.
¡°Today, special thanks to the United States. Our agreements with President Biden are being implemented. Very accurately ¡ª ATACMS proved themselves,¡± Zelenskyy said in his nightly video address.
