US Supplies Ukraine with Long-Range ATACMS Missiles, Sources Confirm

The United States has secretly provided Ukraine with long-range ATACMS missiles, allowing Ukraine to target new Russian locations that were previously out of reach. Ukraine has already used the missiles to attack Russian airfields, destroying helicopters, an ammunition depot, and an air defense launcher. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed gratitude for the implementation of agreements with the US. The US sent the missiles quietly to surprise the Russians, who were aware of their range and could have moved equipment out of reach. The US typically announces significant weapons packages to Ukraine, but this time they chose not to. Discussions about sending the missiles intensified last month, and concerns about escalating the conflict by firing into Russia itself have waned.
