18.11.2024 ⇢ The Day ATACMS Crossed The Line
⌨
The morning began with reports of 59 Ukrainian drones intercepted over five Russian regions, continuing the pattern of increased aerial warfare from previous days. By mid-morning, news broke about Biden's authorization for Ukraine to use ATACMS missiles for strikes up to 300km inside Russian territory, specifically in Kursk region.
The Russian diplomatic and military establishment spent the day crafting responses, with Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zakharova warning of "tangible responses" and the Kremlin describing a "qualitatively new stage" of conflict. The White House maintained strategic ambiguity, neither confirming nor denying the authorization, while EU foreign policy chief Borrell confirmed the 300km strike range by evening.
German leadership explicitly distanced itself from the US position, refusing to follow Washington's approach regarding long-range strikes. Meanwhile, Erdogan's peace proposal involving NATO membership postponement received immediate rejection from Moscow.
