Russia launched a combined wave of attacks against Ukraine for the second night in a row with the one on Monday being its largest aerial strike since the beginning of the fullscale invasion with over 230 missiles and drones the attacks have renewed the calls to the Western allies to lift the restrictions on using longrange weapons to hit targets inside Russia if you want to defend these types of attacks effectively and also efficiently um you have to go after the shooter you have to take out those launchers that deploy these missile systems and you cannot wait until they reach your airspace in order to counter them The Institute for the study of War says there are at least 250 military and paramilitary objects in Russia within the range of atacam missiles that the United States has provided to Ukraine now for the decision makers to really we those those risks um are you willing to take the the risk that that we indeed experience such a humanitarian disaster of unprecedented scale in Europe or do we take those residual risks um in terms of you know escalation management uh and and potential Russian responses and allow Ukraine to finally uh employ these Western weapon systems against Russian targets deeper inside Russian Homeland Washington currently only allow strikes using the US provided himer is equipped with guided multiple launch rocket system at maximum per meeting Ukraine to strike only about 20 out of the 250 objects it could strike with atacam this is the yellow area here now the institute for the study of War says Ukrainian forces do not have to strike every single Russian military and paramilitary object in Russia within the range of Western provided weapons in order to start generating significant operational pressures on the Russian military but lifting those restrictions would generate a serious Ukrainian longrange strike threat that would force a decision point on the Kremlin and likely prompt the Russian military command to significantly reconfigure assets throughout the Deep rear to protect against Ukrainian strikes and
