In light of recent geopolitical events, the United States decided to transfer ATACMS missile systems to Ukraine. This information was confirmed by sources from CNN. According to preliminary information, an official announcement on this issue is expected during the visit of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky to the United States next week.

This step by Washington was made possible thanks to constant pressure from the Ukrainian government, the US State Department and the Pentagon. It is believed that the transfer of missile systems will strengthen Ukraine's combat capabilities and allow Kyiv to strike at long ranges.

The ATACMS (Army Tactical Missile System) missile system is a tactical missile system designed to engage a variety of ground targets at long ranges.

This move by the United States can be interpreted as a continuation of escalation in the region. However, such a decision could provoke a reaction from Russia, which has previously spoken out against military assistance to Ukraine from Western countries and warned about the presence of “red lines.”
