"The United States this month provided Ukraine with long-range ATACMS at the direction of the U.S. President. It is another message that our commitment to Ukraine’s defence is unwavering," said Brink.
As Ukrinform reported earlier, on Wednesday, U.S. President Joe Biden signed off the law on supplemental national security funding, which includes, among other things, $60 billion in support for Ukraine. Later, the U.S. State Department announced the allocation of a $1 billion defence assistance package for Ukraine.
The package of defence support for Ukraine includes RIM-7 missiles for air defence systems, Stinger missiles, ammunition for HIMARS, NATO-standard artillery rounds, Bradley SFVs, as well as other armaments and spare parts for the equipment supplied earlier.
It should be noted that the US State Department confirmed that the long-awaited ATACMS long-range missiles (up to 300 km) arrived in Ukraine in April 2024.
