Details: The president confirmed that "there are such conversations regarding ATACMS, but there is no decision yet".

Quote: "It is better not to raise this issue. Because there are expectations of people, the military, everyone. And I think it's important to do it first, and then share information about how it happened."

Details: Zelenskyy has pointed out once again that similar negotiations also concerned the provision of cluster munitions to Ukraine, and they began "months ago".

Quote: "I am grateful to President Biden and his team that we managed to get this result. So wait, not all at once."

Details: The army's ATACMS tactical missile systems are surface-to-surface missiles with a range of about 300 kilometres, about four times the range of the missiles used by the HIMARS mobile systems that the US began sending to Ukraine last year.

Background: Earlier, The New York Times reported that the administration of US President Joe Biden is having a "quiet" debate about whether to send ATACMS long-range tactical missile systems to Ukraine.
