According to a report by TASS on November 25, Kirby, the White House National Security Council strategic communications coordinator, said at a press conference that the US government has issued instructions to the Ukrainian military on selecting targets for the Army's tactical missile system. The report said that when asked about ATACMS's attack on Russia's hinterland, Kirby initially said “there has been no change” in the use of missiles, but after a short pause, he emphasized: “Obviously, we have changed our guidelines and instructed the Ukrainian military to use these missiles to hit specific types of targets. Currently, they can use ATACMS for self-defense when it is extremely necessary.”
