The issue of transferring ATACMS long-range missiles is more pressing than ever now. Recently, this topic has been actively discussed. And it is not ruled out that Ukraine will receive them this fall.

The corresponding information was voiced by Western journalists, citing unnamed officials from the US presidential administration. True, there are certain nuances with the provision of ATACMS missiles to Ukraine.

ATACMS can be provided, but…

High-ranking officials say that Ukraine can receive ATACMS long-range missiles from the USA. True, they will be provided to usin limited quantities.This will minimize the Pentagon’s concerns that American reserves are being overused.

The White House says thatJoe Biden himself has not yet approved the provision of missiles.At the same time, officials note that they are taking a fresh look at the delivery of long-range missiles in the fall of 2023. With their help, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be able to quickly cope with the ramified defense of the invaders in the south of Ukraine.

Please note that Kiev previously assured Washington that itwould not fire American weapons at Russian territory.

Will the US decision affect Germany

• Please note that Ukraine also expects the provision of long-range TAURUS missiles from Germany. So, in Berlin they said whether Washington's decision to transfer ATACMS would affect them.
• German Defense Minister Boris Pistoriushinted that the United States would not be able to repeat history with tanks. Then Washington announced the transfer Abrams, after which Berlin gave the green light to provide its Leopard 2.
• According to him, in the matter of providing TAURUS, Germany is not guided by the United States. He emphasized that “there is no automatism in this war.” At the same time, he noted thatin Berlin they cannot decidewhether to transfer these missiles to our state.
• But he emphasized that in Berlin they will not make an appropriate decision only because , that a similar thing was adopted in Washington. This means that we should not expect Germany to provide us with TAURUS the very next day, because the day before the USA announced the transfer of ATACMS.
