"Critically Important for Counter -offshore": The US Congress requires Baiden to provide Ukraine with ATACMS missiles

US lawmakers from both parties in the US Congress have recently increased pressure on the President Baiden's administration demanding to pass long -range missiles to Ukraine. The United States House of Foreign Affairs Committee supported a two -party resolution calling to US Presidential Administration Joe Biden immediately to provide Ukraine with ATACMS. About it reports "Ukrinform". The committee meeting took place on Wednesday on June 21.

"ATASMS missiles are critical for the success of Ukraine's counter-offensive. ATACMS have a radius of action up to 190 miles (more than 300 km-ed. ), Which allows the Ukrainian forces to strike in the territories held by the Russians," said the Committee Chairman, the Congressman Michael, the Committee, the Committee Mccol. The senior member of the Committee from the Democratic Party, Congressman Gregory Mix, for his part, said that this step would bring Ukraine closer to the aggressor and peace.

"While Ukraine continues its counter -offensive to liberate its own territories, the United States, together with partners and allies, must consider all ways to help Ukraine win," the Democratic Party representative emphasized. Recall that the resolution H. Res. 488 calling to the President of Bidenan to give Ukraine a long -range ATACMS missile was presented in the US Congress in the first half of June.

According to one of the co -authors of the Resolution, Michael Macacol, Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, if the United States does not give Ukraine the necessary weapons, it can delay the war. On June 8, Politico reported that US President Joe Baiden was increasing pressure to force the weapons of a distant radius of action to Ukraine. Army tactical rocket system with a range of up to 300 km can help the Armed Forces to eliminate the objects important for the Armed Forces.
