"JASSM. I have seen these reports in the press. I have nothing to provide on that. Again, no announcements to make," Pentagon spokesman Pat Ryder said at a briefing when asked if he could confirm whether the US was preparing to send long-range cruise missiles to Ukraine, amid several reports of JASSM.
Recall
The day before , Reuters reported that the United States is close to an agreement to provide Ukraine with long-range cruise missiles that can hit targets deep inside Russia. Three interlocutors at once said that the inclusion of air-to-surface missiles (JASSM) in the arms package would be announced this fall. However, there is still no final decision on this.
