'We now have ATACMS and we will use them,' says Zelenskiy after missile decision
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Tuesday (November 19) that Ukraine was working with all partners to win their support for longer-range strikes. The U.S. administration this week approved Ukraine's use of ATACMS missiles deeper inside Russia, officials said, prompting Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday to lower his military's threshold for a nuclear strike. Asked about an attack on a weapons depot in the Russian Bryansk region, Zelenskiy said Kyiv now had U.S. ATACMS systems as well as its own long-range capabilities, and would use all of them. He also said it was time for Germany to support Ukraine's longer-range strike capabilities against Russia during a briefing in Kyiv with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who held an hour-long call with Putin last week, has been hesitant to provide long-range Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine, fuelling frustration in Kyiv. Zelenskiy's remark came as a Ukrainian official source confirmed that Kyiv's military had used the U.S.-supplied system to attack an arsenal in Russia's Bryansk region on Tuesday.
