All that is required is the capacity to strike deep enough into Russia to hammer Russian artillery and missile sites that are sitting beyond the Russian border and lobbing shells, rockets and missiles into Ukraine. Russia has been able to create a buffer zone in the Kharkiv region by firing from...
