Meh, these long range ATACMS have a range of about 190mi. Even firing from the Holubivka area which is right near the border with a straight shot to Moscow, they'd have to travel 280mi.
They might be able to reach some things west of Moscow, but if Putin were smart he'd have prepared more infrastructure to the east.
Putin knows that he just has to wait and take the hits.

You're assuming the goal is to hit Moscow.
There's plenty of military targets west of Moscow.
It also forces Russian to move planes, helicopters, ammo dumps and logistics hubs further away.
Storm Shadows from Britain were supposedly also approved.
Starmer says they have not been approved
So, who is trying to stir things up before Jan 20th?
