Washington: US President Joe Biden has told his Ukrainian counterpart that Washington will send Kiev a type of long-range missile capable of striking inside Russia. It is not clear when the Army Tactical Missile System, known as ATACMS, will be delivered to Ukraine, nor is it certain when a formal announcement will be made.
The report cited three US officials and a congressional official familiar with the discussions who was not authorized to make the information public. According to the report, Ukraine has long been demanding ATACMS from the US to boost its combat forces in its ongoing war with Russia.
The Biden administration feared that Ukrainian troops would attack Russia using long-range missiles. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with Biden at the White House on Thursday. Biden told reporters after the meeting that the first American Abrams tanks will arrive in Ukraine next week.
