Zelensky team: Initial ATACMS strike signifies fresh phase in Ukraine-Russia conflict.
Russian Military Helicopters in Ukraine Erupt in Flames as Ukraine Uses ATACMS
In a dramatic turn of events, Russian military helicopters stationed in occupied Ukrainian territory were engulfed in flames early Tuesday. This marks the first known use of ATACMS by Ukraine, a move that officials believe will put pressure on Russia to withdraw from all occupied Ukrainian land.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky took to social media to express his gratitude to the United States, stating that their agreements with President Biden were being implemented accurately. He specifically mentioned the success of the ATACMS missiles.
“A new chapter of this war has (un)officially begun,” wrote Zelensky adviser Mykhailo Podolyak on social media. “Moscow will eventually have to recognize the conditions on the ground. There are no more safe places for Russian troops within the internationally recognized borders of Ukraine.”
The strike, which targeted Russian Black Sea Fleet targets in Crimea, resulted in the destruction of nine helicopters, an air defense system, special equipment, and ammunition. Ukrainian officials consider this a significant blow to Russia’s reliance on attack helicopters near the front lines.
While it remains unclear how many ATACMS missiles Ukraine has received or will receive, the delivery of a small number was authorized by President Biden. Previously, there were concerns about potential Russian retaliation against NATO.
Despite the lack of a strong reaction from Putin, Ukrainian officials see this as encouragement to continue their efforts and acquire more ATACMS missiles.
