Details: The journalists requested that Rider comment on the article by The Wall Street Journal, stating that the US are "close" to the coordination of supplying Ukraine with long-range ATACMS missiles.

At the end of May Joe Biden, President of the US, addressed a question of whether it is time for the US to supply Ukraine with long-range ATACMS missiles, saying that "this all is still being considered".

An ATACMS missile has a 300 km action range. The White House is worried that the Armed Forces of Ukraine may launch these missiles on the territory of Russia.
