The NATO Parliamentary Assembly has called for the transfer of medium-range missiles to Ukraine.
As Ukraine is not a NATO member but US, Europe and NATO allies are supporting Ukraine by sending advance weapons, and fueling Russo-Ukrainian war. According to Euromaidan, NATO’s Parliamentary Assembly adopted a “resolution 494” urging member states to provide Ukraine with medium-range missiles capable of targeting Russian strategic positions. Liga net says that Yehor Chernev, head of Ukraine’s permanent delegation to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly and a member of the “Servant of the People” party, clarified that the resolution specifically refers to missiles with a range of 1,000 to 5,500 kilometers.
“We call on the governments and parliaments of the member countries of the North Atlantic Alliance to provide Ukraine with all resources, including medium-range missiles,” the document states.
The NATO resolution also notes that this initiative is aimed at deterring further aggression against Ukraine.
On November 17, it was reported that US President Joe Biden had given Ukraine permission to strike Russian territory with ATACMS for the first time . On November 20, The Times reported that the United States had also given Ukraine permission to use British Storm Shadow missiles to strike deep into Russia.
On November 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin made a special address following the strikes by American ATACMS and British Storm Shadow missiles on targets in Russia. He stated that Russia had retaliated with the Oreshnik medium-range missile system.
