Before granting the US permission to use its weapons in the Russian Federation, at least 90,000 Russian military was preparing for a new offensive on Ukraine. Western weapons allowed to destroy whole columns of Russian troops. About it reports the Associated Press with reference to the First Deputy Minister of Defense Ivan Havrylyuk and other Ukrainian military.
According to Havrylyuk, the 90,000th Russian group was in the depths of the Russian Federation, preparing for a new offensive on Ukraine. In the first days after obtaining a permit from the United States to use their weapons in Russia, the Ukrainian military destroyed whole columns of Russian troops along the border, which were waiting for the invasion order.
The artillery commander in the Kharkiv region with call sign Hephaestus said that then the American artillery installations of Himars "did not silence all day".
The agency also reports that the US permission to use weapons has helped the Ukrainian forces stabilize the front line in Kharkiv. However, the Ukrainian military and officials insist on obtaining permission with ATCMS at a distance of more than 100 kilometers (62 miles).
