Use of Western long-range weapons by Ukraine in Russia

Ukraine is prohibited from using long-range weapons provided by Western countries within Russia. The country has used long-ranged missiles in Russian-occupied territories since April 2024.

Weapons approval

The United States has debated granting Ukraine permission to use long-range weapons within Russia. U.S. officials do not believe that Ukraine has enough ATACMS and Storm Shadow missiles to alter the course of the war, according to The New York Times. In September 2024, U.S. president Joe Biden met with British prime minister Keir Starmer to discuss allowing Ukraine to use long-range weapons in Russia.
