The US Department of Defense has not said how many US-made ATACMS short-range ballistic missiles were transferred to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The Pentagon noted that the weapons should be used exclusively within Ukraine.

I can’t get into specifics about the number of ATACMS we’ve delivered. However, like all other systems and equipment that we transferred to Ukraine, they were supported by assurances that they would be used within Ukraine to return back and protect sovereign Ukrainian territory,” said Pentagon spokesman General Patrick Ryder.
According to him, Washington continues consultations with Ukraine, as well as allies and partners, to provide our state with everything necessary to defend against full-scale Russian aggression.
Let us remind you that three Israeli officials, on condition of anonymity, told the Axios portal that the Pentagon plans to send Israel “tens of thousands” of 155-mm artillery shells that were set aside for Ukraine. The publication claims that the Israeli military needs such a number of shells to prepare for a ground operation in the Gaza Strip, as well as for a possible war with Hezbollah. American officials believe that the transfer to Israel of shells that were assigned to Ukraine will not “directly” affect Kyiv’s ability to fight the Russian army.
