For blows deeper in Crimea: Ukraine can get powerful ballistic missiles of a long range - media

The US is leaning to supply the ATCMS rocket version of a greater radius. This requires Congress to approve the increase in funding for Ukraine, journalists told. The United States of America can provide Ukraine with new powerful ballistic missiles. This was reported by NBC News. The publication, citing two officials in the United States, said Baiden's administration is working on requesting Ukrainian officials to provide weapons.

The US began to supply Ukraine tactical missile systems at the end of 2023, but these are older models and medium range. Now the country is leaning to supply a version of the rocket of a greater radius of action, which will allow Ukraine to strike further deep into the temporarily occupied Crimea. The resistance of former US President Donald Trump and Republicans remains uncertain funding for the country to deliver weapons to Ukraine.

According to representatives of the Ministry of Defense, the country has a limited stock of ATACMS, so "they are unlikely to send them to Ukraine without money to replenish the US. " Instead, two US officials have stated that if Congress approves an increase in funding for Ukraine, the US may include atacms long range in one of the first military assistance packages. In addition, the United States is ready to send ammunition and artillery to Ukraine.

In addition, officials do not exclude appeal to the Allies to provide missiles to Ukraine and replenish their own reserves. The spokesman for the Ministry of Defense noted that without an additional bill on US financing, they do not have a package of security assistance that can be provided to Ukraine. "At the same time, I will not think about the content of any future packages if you have accepted. We will let you know if it changes and if we have a new package for the announcement," he said.

We will remind, on January 25 the military-political observer of the group "Information resistance" Alexander Kovalenko informed that Ukraine will be able to protect a certain part of the territory from attacks of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The Armed Forces will receive the necessary planes and missiles. On February 15, it became known that Spain will hand over the armored caterpillars of M113 and other equipment to Ukraine.
