Policymakers stressed that further delay would only further undermine US national security interests and perpetuate the conflict.
In the United States, four Republican senators wrote an open letter to President Joe Biden calling for the immediate transfer of ATACMS missiles to Ukraine.
“We urge you to immediately send the Army’s MGM-140 Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) to Ukraine. Further delay will only further undermine US national security interests and perpetuate this conflict,” the letter said. Senator Roger Wicker to Tom Cotton. Suzanne Collins and Lindsey Graham.
They note that the ATACMS provision would allow Ukraine to strike key Russian logistics and communications facilities, as well as cruise missile and drone launch sites in Russian-occupied Ukraine.
“In particular, the ATACMS variant with a long-range unitary warhead should be immediately deployed. The recent Ukrainian attack on the Sevastopol naval port using a British Storm Shadow long-range weapon demonstrated the effectiveness of combat with such weapons,” the letter said.
It added that providing missiles to Ukraine would increase the probability of success of the current counteroffensive and its subsequent operations. ATACMS will also enhance Ukraine’s ability to destroy Russian defense forces.
We remind you that information has appeared in the media that the United States will soon send ATACMS missiles to Ukraine.
Earlier, the US State Department admitted that negotiations are underway regarding the transfer of long-range ATACMS missiles to Ukraine.
