US Nears Deal to Supply Ukraine with Long-Range Missiles

The agreement, expected to be finalized this fall, could shift the strategic balance in the conflict with Russia.

Ukraine may receive Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missiles (JASSMs) capable of striking deep into Russian territory.
The delivery of these missiles could take several months due to technical adjustments needed for Ukraine's aircraft.
JASSMs can significantly disrupt Russian staging areas and supply depots, potentially altering the conflict's dynamics.
Military analysts believe these missiles could provide Ukraine with a strategic advantage by extending its offensive reach.
The Biden administration faces pressure to lift restrictions on how Ukraine can use US-supplied weaponry.
