If Republicans continue to block U.S. military aid to Ukraine, the White House could turn to an ally to provide Kyiv with ATACM missiles capable of striking Russian-held Crimea.
MUNICH — After months of requests from Ukrainian officials, the Biden administration is working toward providing Ukraine with powerful new long-range ballistic missiles, according to two U.S. officials.
Late last year, the U.S. began to supply Ukraine with Army Tactical Missile Systems, known as ATACMS, but so far it has provided only the older medium-range ATACMS. Now, the U.S. is leaning toward sending the longer-range version of the missile, the officials said, which would allow Ukraine to strike farther inside the Russian-held Crimean Peninsula.
But U.S. funding for arms shipments to Ukraine remains uncertain because of opposition from former President Donald Trump and his Republican allies in Congress. Last week the Senate passed a $95 billion foreign aid package for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. But it’s not clear whether or when the GOP-controlled House will vote on the measure or whether it would survive the vote.

My money is on Biden, our Zeepers and his Republican collaborators.
Looks like I’ll never be able to retire
dig deep my friend. Our Betters like extortion and war
Neither Russia or Ukraine will be allowed to end this war.
Our only hope for ending this war is President Trump 2024/47.
100%
We are in another undeclared war. Unbelievable.
I’m OK if Putin bombs the District of Columbia...
this time with a nuclear power
Drip drip drip …
It looks like Russia is massing troops in multiple locations
This video describes the military situation in Ukraine on February 19, 2024.
Comon Joe just give Z a few nukes, this incrementalism is driving me nuts. If 60 billion helps push back the Ruskies then adding a few tactical nukes should drop the curtain on thy whole mess. Right?
This all could have been over in April, 2022, save for Biden and the Global Governance.
“Unbelievable.”
Really?
LOL, another Russian red line, if you send stingers...If you send Bradleys... If you send tanks...If you send Patriots... If you send ATACMS...If you send jets...
Ukraine was ALREADY supplied with 20 ATACMS, out of the thousands that are in the US arsenal.
It takes away from anything you try to say.
"That should bring this matter to a quick, peaceful conclusion."
NOT long range missiles, nor F-16's.
LOL, its funny how you want to control other people free speech, like your hero Putin
Actually there’s only $14 B for arms for the Ukes in the bill. Half the $60 B will never leave the beltway as it is to be directly transferred to the U.S. MIC. $8 B for Uke domestic payoffs. $61 B is to be the final round of graft for the DC oligarchs and their Kiev Quislings. They are getting while the getting is still good. NO arms or ammo will reach the Ukes from this deep state bonanza before the total collapse.
again, please drop the - LOL - from the start of your posts.
