White House is considering the possibility of transferring long-range ATACMS missiles to Ukraine

Joe Biden presidential administration is considering the transfer of long-range army tactical missile systems (ATACMS) to Ukraine.

This is reported by NBC News.

It is noted that at the end of last year the United States began to supply Ukraine with medium-range missile systems (ATACMS), and now we are talking about modernized missiles that will allow to strike deep into the territories occupied by Russia.

"The Pentagon said the U.S. has a limited inventory of ATACMS and that it is not likely to send them to Ukraine without money to replenish U.S. stockpiles. If Republicans continue to block military aid, the White House may ask allies to provide Kyiv with long-range ATACMS," the publication writes.

At the same time, the publication adds, if Congress approves the bill, the missiles could "be included in one of the first packages of military aid paid for with that money."

Earlier "Apostrophe" reported that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has signed a bilateral agreement on security cooperation with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
