Ukraine last night claimed it successfully hit a missile system inside Russia using U.S. weapons.
It said the country’s forces destroyed Russian missile launchers with a strike in the Belgorod region.
Senior politician Yehor Chernev claimed Ukrainian forces used a High Mobility Rocket Artillery System, or HIMARS, The New York Times reported.
It comes just days after the U.S. granted permission for Ukraine to fire American weapons into Russia.
Meanwhile, Joe Biden has ruled out Ukraine joining Nato in a major policy shift. The development comes after the defence alliance’s members, including the US and Britain, released a communique last year declaring ‘Ukraine’s future is in Nato’.
