00:00Russia launched a combined wave of attacks against Ukraine for the second night in a row,
00:09with the one on Monday being its largest aerial strike since the beginning of the full-scale
00:14invasion with over 230 missiles and drones.
00:18The attacks have renewed the calls to the Western allies to lift the restrictions on
00:23using long-range weapons to hit targets inside Russia.
00:28If you want to defend these types of attacks effectively and also efficiently, you have
00:34to go after the shooter, you have to take out those launchers that deploy these missile
00:41systems and you cannot wait until they reach the airspace in order to counter them.
00:46The Institute for the Study of War says there are at least 250 military and paramilitary
00:52objects in Russia within the range of Atacans, missiles that the United States has provided
00:58to Ukraine.
00:59It's now for the decision makers to really weigh those risks.
01:03Are you willing to take the risk that we indeed experience such a humanitarian disaster of
01:09unprecedented scale in Europe?
01:12Or do we take those residual risks in terms of escalation management and potential Russian
01:19responses and allow Ukraine to finally employ these Western weapon systems against Russian
01:26targets deeper inside Russian homeland?
01:29Washington currently only allows strikes using the US-provided HIMARS equipped with guided
01:35multiple launch rocket system at maximum, permitting Ukraine to strike only about 20
01:41out of the 250 objects it could strike with Atacans.
01:45This is the yellow area here.
01:48Now the Institute for the Study of War says Ukrainian forces do not have to strike every
01:54single Russian military and paramilitary object in Russia within the range of Western-provided
02:00weapons in order to start generating significant operational pressures on the Russian military.
02:07But lifting those restrictions would generate a serious Ukrainian long-range strike threat
02:13that would force a decision point on the Kremlin and likely prompt the Russian military command
02:19to significantly reconfigure assets throughout the deep region to protect against Ukrainian
02:27strikes.
