In a recent interview, US President Joe Biden's national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, noted that the transfer of long-range missiles to Ukraine will not be a decisive factor in the war against Russia. According to him, although these missiles are an important element of supporting the defense of Ukraine, the real challenge for Kyiv is the lack of personnel at the front, and not the technical aspects of warfare.
"We believe that no single weapon system is decisive in this battle. It's about manpower, and Ukraine, in our opinion, needs to do more to strengthen its position in terms of the number of forces that are on the front lines," said the US President's national security adviser in an interview with PBS News Hour.
At the same time, Sullivan did not voice official confirmations or refutations of the fact that Kyiv was given permission to strike with long-range missiles from the USA.
Bloomberg also points out that Biden's likely decision was not followed by similar permits from the Europeans, "which is a sign of the weakening influence of the outgoing president."
We will remind that after permission from the USA, Russia finally approved its new nuclear doctrine and declared that Ukraine's use of American ATACMS against the Russian Federation could cause a nuclear response.
