The United States will regularly supply ATACMS tactical ballistic missiles to Ukraine, Kiev expects.
ATACMS ballistic missiles transferred from the United States must be used exclusively within the sovereign territory of the Ukrainian state. This was announced on Thursday, October 19, by Pentagon spokesman General Patrick Ryder on video briefing.
“I cannot say the details about the number of ATACMS that we have transferred. However, like all other systems and equipment that we have provided to Ukraine, they are backed by assurances that they will be used inside Ukraine to return and protect the sovereign territory of Ukraine “, he pointed out.
Ryder added that the United States and Ukraine will continue consultations with partners and allies to ensure the country has everything it needs to defend against Russian aggression.
Let’s remember that on the night of October 17, Ukraine launched powerful attacks on airports in occupied Lugansk and Berdyansk. This was the first use of American ATACMS ballistic missiles with a cluster warhead, ideal for attacking airfields.
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky spoke on the phone with US President Joe Biden. One of the topics of discussion was the ATACMS long-range missiles.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba believes that Ukraine will receive more ATACMS in the future. Includes increased coverage.
