Details: According to Miller, today there are no changes on this issue, although the United States continues to consider it.
Quote: "These are ongoing conversations that we have with our Ukrainian counterparts, as well as conversations we have inside the United States government, but we don’t have any new position to announce at this point," Miller said.
Earlier it was reported that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy hopes to persuade his US counterpart Joe Biden to approve the decision to supply the Ukrainian army with long-range ATACMS systems in autumn 2023.
The Financial Times recently reported that President Biden is close to making a decision on transferring long-range ATACMS missiles to Ukraine.
Kyiv has long been asking the US for ATACMS missiles, allowing Ukraine to strike deeper into the Russian rear.
Earlier, the US media learned that a decision on ATACMS missiles for Ukraine may be made shortly, and they may be included in one of the next aid packages.
