Which puts limits on the operational range of the aircraft given the longer distances they’re required to fly, it could make targets harder or impossible to reach, it might limit time on target and/or in CAS roles.
Ultimately, Ukraine would prefer them to be completely out of action but this move could bring some breathing room.

Who do they move them? Do they fly the aircraft to other sites or transport them on the ground via trucks or railway?

That’s definitely a win. Good thing Ukraine has developed a robust drone program that can travel twice the range of ATACMS.
