Representatives of the US Department of Defense explained why long-range ATACMS missiles were transferred to the Ukrainian state.
This information was reported by The New York Times, reports URA-Inform.
A senior official from the US Department of Defense said that the purpose of the new long-range systems is to increase pressure on the Crimean peninsula, which is the strategic center of Russian military forces, «where Russia now has a relatively safe refuge».
However, Pentagon representatives refused to disclose the exact number of long-range systems transferred to Ukraine.
At the same time It is known that on April 24, US President Joe Biden signed a law providing financial and military support to Ukraine. Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky said that the new aid package included long-range ATACMS missiles, which have a range of more than 300 kilometers.
