The US secretly shipped long-range missiles to Ukraine in recent weeks for use against Russian forces, a US official revealed on April 24. The weapons, which reached Ukraine this month, were part of a $300m aid package approved by Joe Biden in March.
Ukraine for the first time began using long-range ballistic missiles provided by the US, as per reports citing unnamed US officials. Kyiv’s forces used the ATACMS in the early hours of April 17 to bomb a Russian airfield in Crimea some 165km from the Ukrainian front lines. Kyiv reportedly used the weapon for the second time on April 23 against Russian forces in southeastern Ukraine.
The US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said Washington planned to send more ATACMS as part of a recently approved $61 billion aid package for Ukraine.
