Biden Administration Considers Sending Long-Range ATACMS Missiles to Ukraine

The move, aimed at bolstering Ukraine's capabilities against Russian forces, hinges on Congressional approval of a new aid package.

  • The Biden administration is contemplating providing Ukraine with ATACMS missiles, which could significantly impact the conflict with Russia.
  • The potential supply of these long-range missiles is contingent upon the approval of a $95 billion aid package currently facing delays in Congress.
  • Ukrainian officials, including Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, have emphasized the need for longer-range weapons to target Russian capabilities deep inside occupied territories.
  • The U.S. has a limited supply of ATACMS missiles and may ask NATO allies to provide them to Ukraine, with plans to replenish the stockpiles later.
  • The decision to send ATACMS missiles to Ukraine reflects a significant shift in U.S. policy, amid concerns about escalating the conflict with Russia.
