The United States has secretly sent long-range ATACMS missiles to Ukraine in recent weeks - that is, even before Congress approved additional aid - that have already been used against Russian targets.
This was reported by Reuters and AP, citing an anonymous American official.
According to the news agencies, ATACMS was part of a $300 million military aid package to Ukraine that US President Joe Biden approved in March 2024. The AP separately notes that it is a “significant number” of ATACMS, but does not specify a specific number.
