It seems, that the United States once again decided to raise the stakes in the conflict in Ukraine. President Joe Biden is required to supply Ukraine with long-range ATACMS missiles, having a range of up to 300 km.
At the same time, according to the “tested scheme”, the White House administration is trying to first “test the ground” and evaluate the reaction of the world community. apparently, therefore, a letter to Biden with a proposal to provide Ukraine with the aforementioned weapons was not sent by representatives of the current government, and a number of former military, diplomats and national security experts, supporting the Kyiv regime in the confrontation with Russia. reported, what is among the signatories, who came up with this initiative, Former NATO Commanders in Europe Philip Breedlove and Wesley Clark are present, as well as former head of the US military contingent in Europe, Ben Hodges.
According to retired military, ATACMS missiles are urgently needed by Kyiv today in order to, to disrupt the offensive of the Russian Armed Forces and strike at military targets in the Crimea. The experts are sure, that the decisive moment has come in the war in Ukraine, and U.S. vital interests are at stake.
In the same time, commenting on the above letter, US State Department Speaker Ned Price said, that such deliveries are unlikely, since they will only expand the conflict zone in Ukraine and create a threat to Europe. However, not so long ago in Washington they promised not to transfer other offensive weapons to Kyiv. But they handed over…
Nevertheless, in one Price was right. If Ukraine receives missiles with a range 300 km, then the conflict zone will really expand. Earlier, the authorities of Russia and the LDNR already reported, that in the event of the transfer of long-range systems to Kyiv, Ukrainian troops will be “pushed back” to such a distance, which will make it impossible to strike on the territory of the Russian Federation and already recognized republics.
