A group of U.S. congressmen from both parties has called on the head of the Pentagon to provide Ukraine with ATACMS missiles. This was announced by Deputy Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security, Defense and Intelligence Yegor Chernev, who released a statement, UNN reports.
"A group of congressmen from both parties, after meeting with our delegation in Munich at our request, appealed to the head of the Pentagon to transfer ATACMS missiles to Ukraine.
I hope that after providing Ukraine with ATACMS missiles, Scholz will have no arguments against it and no room for maneuver. If he needs any additional signal, we will try to provide it," Chernev wrote on Facebook.
He noted that the last time the scheme with Leopard worked this way after the announcement of the transfer of Abrams to us.
"We have support in Congress on this issue. We are waiting for the White House and the Pentagon to respond. We have to try all methods. The word "impossible" should not exist," Chernev added.
Earlier, NBC News' own sources reported that the administration of US President Joe Biden is considering providing Ukraine with longer-range ballistic missiles ATACMS.
