Will the US allow the Ukraine to hit targets in Russia with ATACMS missiles?

Maybe that could accelerate peace negotiations! However, this is a rather short range missile with only up to 300 km.

"The Pentagon has for months been blocking Ukraine’s use of long-range missiles to strike inside Russia.
A high-level Defense Department approval procedure, which hasn’t been announced, has prevented Ukraine from firing any U.S.-made long-range Army Tactical Missile Systems against targets in Russia since late spring, U.S. officials said. The veto has restricted Ukraine’s military operations as the White House has sought to woo the Kremlin into beginning peace talks. It has also effectively reversed a decision by President Joe Biden in his final year in office to permit Ukraine to strike inside Russia with Atacms."
