After the Ukrainian army entered the Kursk region, Kyiv again appealed to the United States to launch ATACMS strikes on Russian territory.

Axar.az reports that the "Washington Post" reported on this with reference to Zelensky's adviser, who did not want to be named.

"Such a political decision will allow the Armed Forces of Ukraine to preserve the captured territories of the Kursk region. The point is that this will provide the necessary leverage for negotiations with Russia. Within three days, the Ukrainian army captured about 100 km² of territory in the Kursk region and captured hundreds of Russian soldiers. They also control the Suca gas distribution station, which Gazprom uses to supply fuel to Europe," he said.

The publication notes that it is planned to use long-range missiles at military airfields where Russian fighters take off to bomb positions of Ukrainian forces.
