US Quietly Delivers Long-Range Missiles to Ukraine Amid Ongoing Conflict

The United States has discretely provided Ukraine with long-range Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS), enabling the country to strike targets up to 300 kilometers away. The move marks a significant development in the ongoing conflict, as the US had previously hesitated to supply such weapons due to concerns about escalating tensions with Russia. However, in February, President Biden approved the delivery of the missiles, which were included in a substantial aid package announced in March. The ATACMS have already been utilized twice by Ukrainian forces, targeting an airfield in Crimea and Russian forces in southeastern Ukraine. The weapons are expected to play a crucial role in the ongoing war effort, as Ukraine faces depleted resources and continued Russian aggression.
