Kuleba talked to Blinken: urged to give Ukraine ATACMS
On Monday evening, Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba reported on a telephone conversation with U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken.
Kuleba writes about it.
During the conversation, according to Kuleba, he and Blinken discussed further steps to expand global support for the "peace formula" and solutions to increase Ukrainian grain exports.
"I thanked the United States for all the assistance provided and emphasized the need to strengthen Ukraine's long-haul capabilities by providing ATACMS," the minister added on Twitter.
The Army's ATACMS tactical missile systems are surface-to-surface missiles with a range of about 300 kilometers, about four times the range of the missiles used by the HIMARS mobile systems that the United States began sending to Ukraine last year.
