Details: The media outlets do not provide details on the number or range of ATACMS included in the new US$1 billion package. However, this confirms previous media reports that these weapons will be transferred to Ukraine.
It has also emerged that Ukraine received ATACMS as part of a previous US$300 million military aid package announced in March and has already used them against Russian targets in temporarily occupied Crimea and Zaporizhzhia Oblast at least twice.
Background:
- On 24 April, US President Joe Biden signed legislation enacted by Congress that offers about US$61 billion in new military and economic aid to Ukraine, as well as help to other US allies.
