Russia to Push Ukraine further Back If Kiev Gets Long Range US Missiles, Says Kremlin

Russia will need to push Ukrainian forces further back and expand what it regards as a "buffer zone" if Kiev takes delivery of advanced longer-range ATACM guided missile systems from the United States, the Kremlin said on Wednesday.

The White House last October said it had provided Kiev with a type of ATACMS capable of hitting targets up to 165 kilometers (102 miles) away. But a new US package being prepared now after a long-delayed aid bill was approved by Congress is expected to include a longer 300 km (186-mile) range type.

Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelenskiy said on Monday that Kiev would be receiving the long-range ATACMS and thanked Washington.
