Zero Hedge: Ukraine Will Not Get ATACMS Long-Range Missiles ‘Anytime Soon’: Fox
Currently, with Zelensky in New York and soon to arrive Washington, the big question remains whether the Biden administration will grant him something that has long topped Ukraine’s wish list: the MGM-140 Army Tactical Missile System, or ATACMS.
Fox News Pentagon correspondent Lucas Tomlinson says it’s looking like the White House is set against it, for now at least. His sources told him the following:
Ukraine will not get ATACMS, the 190-mile-range tactical ballistic missiles, urgently requested by Zelensky to destroy Russian forces in Crimea and other Russian-held territory ‘anytime soon,’ officials say. News comes one day before Zelensky visits Biden at the White House.
