Putin said the U.S.-supplied missiles 'obviously' posed a threat to Russia but 'impossible' that they could change the course of the war in Ukraine.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has admitted that U.S.-made Army Tactical Missile Systems pose a threat to Russia in the ongoing war in Ukraine.Ukraine used ATACMS for the first time in a strike on military bases in the Russian-occupied territories of Zaporizhzhia and Luhansk on Tuesday. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and U.S. officials later confirmed that an unspecified number of the missiles had recently been sent to Ukraine in secret.
'The mistake of a larger, so far invisible nature... is that the United States is more and more personally drawn into this conflict.'Putin went on to rubbish President Joe Biden's claim that Russia had already 'lost' the war to Ukraine, calling the claim 'funny' and arguing that the U.S. supplying Kyiv with ATACMS was evidence that the conflict was far from over.'If the war is lost by Russia, why supply ATACMS?' said Putin.
