ATACMS long-range missiles – Ukraine should receive, the targets are named – UNIAN
The Kharkiv counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine greatly changed Washington’s attitude, Glen Howard reported.
Ukraine should get long-range ATACMS missiles as soon as possible to hit them on the Crimean bridge and override Russian intentions to hold the southern front near Kherson.
This opinion was expressed by Glen Howard, president of the think tank The Jamestown Foundation, in an interview 24 channels.
“At the beginning of the war, the USA reluctantly gave Ukraine even a Stinger. Also reluctantly gave a larger number of Javelin. During this war, the Biden administration and representatives of the US government repeatedly said that they would not do something, and then they did. They moved in full, step In English it is called “escalation management”, that is, control over the increase in the level of violence”, instead of him.
“Jake Sullivan and other representatives of the President’s Administration control the amount of weapons entering Ukraine. For example, long-range missiles that could destroy the city of Kerch have not yet been transferred,” Howard added.
The expert focused on the fact that the Kharkiv counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine greatly changed Washington’s attitude:
“I know this for sure. I recently spoke with a representative of the Ukrainian government. He shared his impressions of how American officials were impressed by this operation. Therefore, we need patience, but we also need to speed up the provision of weapons. America should not pay monthly to support the economy of Ukraine, it is better will help you win the war, and then restore the economy, restore air traffic.”
