Mark Arnold made the call in an interview with Ukraine’s Channel 24 published Tuesday, saying he wasn’t just referring to the Russian-occupied Crimean peninsula when he said Russian territory should be targeted. “The US and NATO say don’t hit Russian soil, but that’s nonsense,” he said. “The beginning of the end of the Russian military in Ukraine is the destruction of the supply line of fuel, ammunition and equipment. This must be done both at the border and hundreds of kilometers deep into Russia. To do this, NATO needs to change its policy and abandon the positions on the prohibition of strikes on Russian territories. It is necessary to give Ukraine such weapons that could crush the Russians in them.” While the US and other NATO nations have not been directly involved in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, they have sent weapons such as US-supplied high-mobility artillery missile systems and other aid to Ukraine.

Ukraine’s HIMARS have gained widespread attention for their effectiveness in striking Russian targets in recent weeks. However, using these or other heavy weapons supplied from outside Ukraine to attack inside Russian territory could increase the risk of drawing more countries into the conflict. Before the US officially confirmed news reports that it planned to send missile systems to Ukraine, Russian Ambassador to the US Anatoly Antonov called for “an end to the senseless and extremely dangerous pumping of arms into the country.” Noting in a Telegram post that the US might give HIMARS and M270 MLRS (multiple launch rocket systems) to Ukraine, Antonov said “there is a risk that such equipment will be placed near Russia’s border and the Ukrainians will be able to hit Russian cities Such a situation is unacceptable and unacceptable to us.” Russian President Vladimir Putin has not directly threatened to attack other countries during the war, although he said any nation “posing a strategic threat to Russia” in Ukraine could expect “retaliatory strikes.” When asked in the interview what additional US and NATO weapons would be most effective in helping Ukraine win the war, Arnold listed long-range HIMARS missiles, fighter drones, aircraft in service with NATO and what described as a powerful anti-missile defense system. He noted that all of this could require “intensive training” of Ukrainian troops that could last a year or more. Newsweek reached out to the US State Department and Arnold through the Ohio chapter of the Special Forces Association, for which he serves as president, for comment.
