According to foreign media reports, on April 25, 2024 local time, the U.S. government confirmed that in accordance with President Biden's direct instructions, the long-range Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) has been secretly delivered to Ukraine this month. This strategic military aid operation has undoubtedly brought strong backing support to Ukraine and injected new strength into its confrontation on the battlefield.
US State Department spokesman Pashi confirmed the news at a press conference on the 24th, stressing: "Under the clear instructions of the president, the United States has provided Ukraine with long-range ATACMS. "This statement shows the firm position and determination of the US government on the issue of supporting Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky also expressed his gratitude for this a few days ago, pointing out that Ukraine will receive the long-sought long-sought long-range ATACMS, and all the details of the relevant agreement have been finalized. The arrival of this important weapon system will undoubtedly bring a qualitative leap forward in Ukraine's defense and counterattack capabilities.
According to reports, the provision of long-range ATACMS to Kyiv is part of the US aid package for Ukraine in March and is not part of the new aid package just approved by the US Congress and signed into force by Biden. According to the latest aid bill passed by Congress, the United States will provide up to $61 billion in military aid to Ukraine, which is not only a record high, but also fully demonstrates the support and determination of the United States for Ukraine.
In conclusion, the U.S. operation to provide Ukraine with long-range Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) has undoubtedly strengthened Ukraine's military strength and added new bargaining chips to its victory on the battlefield. This major move not only reflects the firm determination of the U.S. government, but also sends a clear signal to the international community that the U.S. will continue to support Ukraine and safeguard its sovereignty and territorial integrity.
