The Biden administration is gearing up to provide a new aid package for Ukraine worth approximately $1 billion. The Senate has already passed the legislation, and it is now awaiting President Biden's signature, expected as soon as Wednesday.
As part of this aid package, the US is likely to send Ukraine long-range ATACMS (Army Tactical Missile Systems) for the first time. Last fall, Ukraine received the midrange variant of the ATACMS missile system, capable of reaching about 100 miles. The longer-range version can extend up to 190 miles, fulfilling Ukraine's request to target deeper behind Russian lines.
