As part of The new aid package approved by the US House of Representatives is giving Ukraine long-range ATACMS missile systems, which can be sent within a week. This is what the democratic senator said on Sunday Mark Warner For CBS News. He also told about it Kyiv Independent.
In a television interview, Warner implied that the president Joe Biden the administration is preparing to send Ukraine new missile launch systems, not just missiles. He told about the intentions of the Biden administration based on his own information NBC News in February.
Now the missiles being sent are known to be longer-range versions of the ATACMS missiles already sent to Ukraine. The ATACMS missiles already in Ukraine can hit a distance of about 170 kilometers. With the longer-range versions, the strike distance increases to about 300 kilometers.
Long-range missiles have been at the top of Ukraine's wish list for a long time. The United States has long been reluctant to hand over weapon systems that can be used to attack deeper into Russia than before.
The aid package still needs Senate approval and Biden's signature. The Senate is expected to vote on the issue in the next few days.
