Permission to use Western long-range missiles to strike deep into Russia could force the Kremlin to stretch supply lines by moving bases further from Ukraine into home federation turf in Russia.
Signs that tide was shifting over past week. The Guardian reported U.K. had already decided to allow Ukraine to use Storm Shadow missiles for strikes into Russia. Politico wrote White House reportedly discussing potential targets Russia vs Ukraine show who strike who weapons first.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken & Britain's Foreign Secretary David Lammy pose with Ukraine's President Zelensky at Mariinsky Palace in Kyiv, Ukraine on Sep. 11, 2024, amid Russian invasion. Hopes of a positive announcement during meetings between President Joe Biden and U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Washington on Sept. 13 were dashed, decision-making process appears to have been postponed to the UN general assembly in New York later this month it
A day later on Sept. 13 in Kyiv, U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said allowing Ukraine to use ATACMS to strike targets deep inside Russia is the subject of "intense consultations." Ukraine has been eagerly awaiting the potential lifting of restrictions, with Defense Minister Rustem Umerov saying in August that he had presented U.S. with a list of proposed targets within Russia.
Calling lifting of restrictions a "game changer is probably too strong a word," Andreas Umland, analyst at Stockholm Center for Eastern European Studies, told Kyiv Independent. But it would make a big difference of course. That's why the Ukrainians are so eager to get it.
Potential targets
A public list of targets — either those requested by Ukraine or approved by the U.S. or the U.K. — is unlikely for operational reasons.
