Opinion: The Kursk incursion underlines the urgency of unrestricted support for Ukraine

Restricting Kyiv's military actions, including the #KurskIncursion, only serves to prolong the war and bolster Russia; full support for Ukraine's approach is crucial for advancing peace.

Over the past few years, Ukrainians have learned that externally-imposed restrictions, aimed at keeping the war contained within Ukraine’s borders, have only enabled Russia and, tragically, led #Ukraine into a lethal war of attrition.

Ukraine may receive first new long-range bombs from US this week

The U.S. is expected to deliver the first batch of new long-range bombs to Ukraine on Jan. 31, Politico reported, citing a U.S. official and three other people familiar with the matter.

The Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bombs (GLSDB) can reportedly strike at a range of 160 kilometers, expanding Ukraine’s long-range capabilities, alongside Storm Shadow/SCALP and ATACMS missiles.

Russia claimed that it had shot down a #GLSDB in March 2023, but a U.S. official then told Reuters that none of these weapons had been delivered to Ukraine so far.

Ukrainian Navy Commander signals Kyiv would win faster if there's permission to fire Western weapons deep inside Russia

Kyiv would be able to win the war faster if it had permission to fire Western weapons against targets inside Russia, Sky News reported.

"We must have the capabilities to make sure that Russia will give up forever the thought of even looking in Ukraine's direction, including at sea,"

For example Ukraine's recent attacks on Russia's Black Sea Fleet have led to the "functional defeat" of the Russian Navy in the Black Sea
