The US is considering providing Ukraine with long-range missiles
But this will happen only if Congress approves a bill to fund Ukraine
One of the first packages of military aid to Kyiv may include longer-range ATACMS missiles, possibly up to 300 km, if Congress approves a bill to fund Ukraine.
Source. This was reported by NBC News with reference to Pentagon officials.
Officially, the United States supplied Kyiv with precision tactical missiles with a range of no more than 90 km, although American and Ukrainian media reported that Kyiv had secretly received a small number of missiles with a longer range – according to some reports, up to 170 km.
This was reported by The Wall Street Journal in October 2023.
According to NBC News sources, the Pentagon has a limited supply of ATACMS and is unlikely to send them to Ukraine unless it receives financial support to replenish the stockpile.
However, if the funding is approved, the US is ready to immediately provide Ukraine with long-range ATACMS, as well as other ammunition and artillery, the sources said.
Background. Meanwhile, at the Munich conference, Scholz avoided answering the question about supplying Ukraine with Taurus missiles.
