Ukraine has slowed down missile strikes on Russia with Atacms – NYT.

Ukraine has reduced the number of missile attacks on the Russian Federation using long-range Atacms missiles. It is believed that the reason for this may be limited ammunition supplies and the policy of American President Donald Trump regarding strikes deep into Russia. This was reported by The New York Times.

In the spring, the United States transferred about 500 Atacms missiles to Ukraine, but they could not be used against Russia. Therefore, they were used for strikes on targets in occupied territories.

After receiving permission from the U.S. to use Atacms deep into Russia, Ukrainian stocks decreased to 'dozens', likely around 50 missiles.

The New York Times, citing two American officials, notes that the possibility of obtaining more Atacms was virtually non-existent, as limited American supplies had already been earmarked for deployment in the Middle East and Asia.

Ukraine has used at least 31 Atacms missiles and 14 Storm Shadows missiles after receiving permission from the U.S. and the United Kingdom. One of the successful strikes was the Storm Shadows attack on November 20 on a Russian command post near the village of Maryino in the Kursk region.

After that, Ukraine did not launch Atacms and Storm Shadows missiles for two weeks following a call from the head of the Russian General Staff to General Charles Brown to 'discuss concerns about escalation.'

It is noted that Ukraine may decrease the number of missile attacks due to a limited number of missiles and aim them at targets already in advance.

White House advisor John Kirby stated that Ukraine used the Atacms missiles acquired from the U.S. for strikes in the Kursk region of Russia.

According to the analysis of the map by the American Institute for the Study of War, Ukraine can carry out missile strikes on military facilities in the Rostov region of Russia.
