According to the authors of the resolution, ATACMS missiles will balance the potentials of the Russian Federation and Ukraine, because Moscow still has an advantage in the missile armament component.

On June 9, in the US Congress , representatives of both parties, Republican and Democratic, created a resolution calling on the administration of President Joe Biden to transfer ATACMS long-range missiles to Ukraine.

Republican Michael McCole, chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives, stressed that Kiev must receive modern weapons so that the war does not drag on.

“The success of the Ukrainian counter-offensive is directly related to the military assistance provided by the United States and our allies. Therefore, it is extremely disappointing that the administration withholds billions of dollars of military funding that could immediately be transferred to Ukraine and in turn help its Armed Forces make a significant difference on the battlefield.” “, says McCole.

The resolution mentions the decision of France and Britain to transfer missiles with a range of 250 kilometers to Ukraine. The authors of the document also stressed that the United States and allied countries have thousands of ATACMS missiles and transferring a certain part of them to Ukraine will not be a problem – the US military will not feel a shortage.

According to the authors of the resolution, ATACMS missiles will balance the potentials of the Russian Federation and Ukraine, because Moscow still has an advantage in the missile armament component.
