We are talking about the ATACMS tactical missile system, as well as the Gray Eagle and Reaper drones, writes Politico.
A Ukrainian delegation led by President Volodymyr Zelensky on a visit to the United States will be asked for the supply of long-range weapons. This was reported on December 21 by Politico, citing anonymous sources.
It was noted that from the beginning of the war, Kyiv repeatedly appealed to the administration of President Joe Biden with a request to provide more advanced weapons, but the United States hesitated on this issue.
According to the interlocutor of the publication, during a meeting with Biden and his team, the Ukrainian delegation will come up with a new round of requests for the army tactical long-range missile system ATACMS, as well as the Gray Eagle and Reaper drones.
However, according to Politico, US officials are “unwilling to budge.”
“The White House refuses to send ATACMS … Sending long-range missiles to Kyiv could provoke (Russian President Vladimir) Putin to use more lethal weapons in Ukraine,” the article said.
It was previously reported that the President of the United States will announce a large new aid package to Ukraine for almost two billion dollars, which will include a battery of Patriot air defense systems.
Details of Zelensky’s visit were announced at the White House
