US authorizes use of ATACMS missile after Russia's attack on Ukraine. US Air Force responds after 120 missiles and 90 drones are launched at Ukrainian power grid.

The United States has authorized the use of the ATACMS missile in response to Russia’s intense military attack on Ukraine, which involved the use of missiles, drones and even North Korean soldiers. The action by the US air force surprised the world, marking a crucial step in supporting the Ukrainian Army and reinforcing the US commitment to defending Ukrainian sovereignty.

US authorizes use of missiles and drones after Russian attack

The Biden administration has finally approved the deployment of long-range U.S. Air Force missiles on Russian territory, responding to a persistent request from Kiev. That decision, reported by The Washington Post, marks a new chapter in American involvement in the conflict.

The US has authorized the use of ATACMS missiles and drones after a devastating attack by Moscow on Ukrainian electrical infrastructure that resulted in at least five deaths and compromised about 50% of the country's power generation capacity.

The attack, which involved around 120 missiles and 90 drones, is considered one of the most significant since the beginning of the conflict. According to Ukraine's Energy Minister, the Russian army has intensified attacks on electricity generation and transmission facilities in several regions of the country. operator Energy company DTEK announced the implementation of emergency power outages in several areas, including the cities of Kiev, Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk.

Odesa was also severely affected, with interruptions in heating and water supply. The US authorizes the use of ATACMS missiles and according to the newspaper Jovem Pan, another factor that may have influenced the decision to authorize the equipment was the fact that North Korea sent 10 army officers and soldiers to Kursk, a Russian region that borders Ukraine.

North Korea is supporting Russia in the War

Kim Jong-un is seeking to consolidate Russian forces while trying to reclaim territories that Ukrainians have recovered in recent months. This move has raised alarms in Washington, leading the country's government to accelerate the deployment of advanced US Air Force weapons to balance the situation. To counter advances, the US authorizes the use of ATACMS missiles, guided missiles supersonic.

North Korea, led by Kim Jong-un, has been expanding its support for Russia, especially in strategic regions near Ukraine. The deployment of army troops to Kursk highlights Russia's commitment to Pyongyang to reinforce Russian forces, even in the face of international tensions.

Furthermore, the significant number of deployed soldiers could transform the dynamics of the battlefield, creating even greater challenges for Ukraine.

On the other hand, the US Air Force has authorized the use of ATACMS missiles as a strategic response. With a range of up to 300 km, these powerful weapons will be able to neutralize North Korean army movements on Russian soil.

Understand the impacts of the conflicts between Ukraine and Russia

The U.S. Air Force's deployment of long-range missiles to Ukraine marks a critical turning point in the war against Russia and its allies, including North Korea. With strategic moves being defined in Washington, Moscow and Pyongyang, the military escalation takes on new proportions.

With US permission, Ukraine’s military has gained a crucial new tool to counter Russian and North Korean advances. However, reactions have varied. While Kiev is celebrating its military reinforcement, criticism and political tensions are growing in the West.

The war in Ukraine has ceased to be an armed confrontation and has become a chessboard where each decision can change global trends and the outcome of this conflict keeps the world on alert.

I would very much like to have access to evidence of the actual participation of North Korean personnel on the Russian-Ukrainian front, which would have supported the author of this article's claim. What are the sources? The Western media, from what I have seen, has so far only provided conjecture and has not provided a single photo, not even of a single North Korean casualty. The Eastern media emphasizes that North Korean soldiers were indeed on Russian territory, but only for joint exercises.
