Sikorski on U.S. approval for Ukraine to strike Russia with ATACMS: This is an answer Putin understands

Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said this in a post on X, according to Ukrinform.

"President Biden responded to the entry of North Korean troops into the war and the massive Russian missile strike in a language that Putin understands -- by lifting restrictions on Ukraine's use of Western missiles. The victim of aggression has the right to defend itself. Strength deters, weakness provokes," Sikorski wrote.

Earlier, The New York Times, citing U.S. officials, reported that U.S. President Joe Biden for the first time allowed the Ukrainian military to use long-range ATACMS missiles to strike inside Russia.

In his nightly address, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky commented on the reports, saying, "The strikes are not carried out with words. Missiles will speak for themselves."
