The US has confirmed supplying Ukraine with long-range ballistic missiles to combat Russian forces. The $300m aid package, approved by President Biden, included these weapons, with an additional $61bn in aid recently signed. Previously, Ukraine received mid-range systems, but concerns over US military readiness delayed the delivery of more potent weaponry. Despite this, Biden authorized the transfer of the long-range ATACMS system in February. The US kept this operation secret to protect Ukraine's security. While details on the number of missiles sent remain unclear, the US plans to provide more, emphasizing their significance while cautioning against viewing them as a sole solution.
