The media learned about the consent of all US departments to supply ATACMS missiles to Kyiv

All relevant US departments approved the shipment of ATACMS long-range missiles to Ukraine. About this with reference to an anonymous source in Congress writes Foreign Policy magazine.

The publication’s interlocutor noted that if the transfer of missiles to Kyiv does not happen, it is because President Joe Biden himself said no.

Earlier in an interview with CNN, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky reported, which expects a positive decision from the United States on the supply of long-range ATACMS missiles. Otherwise, he said, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will have “more casualties on the battlefield.”

12 September Reuters wrotethat the administration of US President Joe Biden is close to approving the sending of long-range missiles filled with cluster munitions to Ukraine. It was clarified that we are talking about ATACMS tactical missile systems with a range of up to 306 km and controlled GMLRS MLRS with a range of up to 72 km.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, commenting on Washington’s plans to transfer long-range missiles to Kyiv, statedthat by supplying weapons to Kyiv, the United States, with the help of Ukraine, is waging a war against Russia. Deputy Minister Sergei Ryabkov said that this is the result of “non-stop escalation” on the part of Washington.
