ATACMS Missiles for Ukraine Are a Necessary Prerequisite for the Protection of Ukrainian Civilians from Russian Missile Strikes and UAVs

Russia uses the missile terror of Ukraine as the number one tool of warfare. Putin is trying to destroy Ukraine’s critical infrastructure. Frontline cities are constantly under artillery fire. Under such circumstances, the provision of ATACMS missiles to Ukraine is a necessary prerequisite for the accurate destruction of Russian targets that are far from the front line. In fact, if Ukraine does not get the opportunity to destroy such objects, the war will continue indefinitely, and the destruction of Ukrainian infrastructure will become critical.

After Russia was forced to withdraw from Kherson, its army began systematic shelling of the city with artillery and MLRS, dozens of civilians have already died. Russia confirms the reputation of a terrorist state and takes it out on civilians in response to the failure to succeed on the front. With the help of ATACMS missiles, the Armed Forces will be able to hit targets far from the front line: for example, the enemy’s logistical arteries, UAV launch control points that Russia has moved to the territory of the Krasnodar Territory. If strategic objects on the territory of Russia, which are of strategic importance for its waging of war, are not neutralized, the destruction of Ukraine’s critical infrastructure will become unprecedented.

After October 10, Russia fired more than 900 missiles at Ukraine. More than 850 of them were aimed at non-military objects. The tactics of the Russian Armed Forces are an exclusive genocide of Ukrainians. Every day, the Russians inflict more than 100 artillery strikes on Kherson and the occupied part of the Kherson region. The situation is complicated by the fact that Russian troops have entrenched themselves on the left bank of the Dnieper and can only be neutralized by high-precision weapons, against which Russia has no countermeasures. The Russians have created a complex system of commanding troops and logistical supplies in the occupied territories of Ukraine. If to neutralize this element, the entire defense of the enemy will collapse.

Ukraine is in great need of Western weapons in all necessary quantities: without it, the war will drag on indefinitely, and Russia will be able to adapt and begin general mobilization. ATACMS missiles will allow to change the strategic situation at the front in favor of Ukraine and the Armed Forces will receive a strategic initiative.

Putin is starting a global confrontation, and Ukraine is only the first step. The West cannot allow the revival of totalitarian Russian evil that was in the times of bipolar confrontation. Ukraine should receive all the necessary assistance with weapons in order to bring victory over the enemy common to the entire civilized world.
