Politico: The US does not intend to supply Ukraine with long-range missilesThe United States does not plan to send long-range missiles to the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU).

This was reported on May 9 by the newspaper Politico, citing sources.

It is clarified that the American side does not intend to take an example from London, which plans to send long-range missiles, and provide ATACMS to the APU.

Earlier in the day, The Washington Post wrote that London plans to send long-range missiles to Kiev. It was reported that these could be Storm Shadow air-launched missiles. The range of air–to—ground weapons is 300 km. At the same time, the UK authorities have not yet made a decision on supplies.

"Our policy regarding ATACMS has not changed," explained one of the interlocutors of the newspaper.

Meanwhile, it is noted that Washington continues to supply Patriot complexes, ammunition and armored vehicles to Kiev.

Prior to that, on April 27, at a hearing in parliament, the deputy head of the British Ministry of Defense, Andrew Murison, did not answer the question about the supply of long-range weapons to Ukraine, telling instead about self-propelled artillery installations (ACS) AS-90.

On April 18, The Guardian newspaper reported that the UK had promised to allocate weapons to Ukraine from its reserves for a rainy day. It was noted that Ukrainian and European politicians, including former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, are increasingly calling on London to increase military support for Kiev, including increasing the number of tanks and fighter jets supplied.


Western countries have increased military and financial support for Ukraine after the start of Russia's special operation to protect Donbass. The decision to hold it was announced on February 24, 2022 against the background of the aggravation of the situation in the region due to the increased shelling by Ukrainian troops.
