Waiting for ATACMS: US prepares major new military aid package for Ukraine
The United States is about to announce a major new military aid package for Ukraine.
Here's What We Know
The information was shared by Voice of America journalist Ostap Yarysh. The new arms package is planned to be announced on 21 September during Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelinskyy's visit to the White House.
The main question is whether ATACMS will be included in this package. At the moment, we are sensing superfluous information about this. We will see tomorrow.

What exactly will be included in the new aid package is unknown. But we can assume that the US will finally supply the Ukrainian Armed Forces with ATACMS ballistic missiles for HIMARS and M270 multiple launch rocket systems with a range of up to 300 kilometres. In a recent interview with CNN, Zielinski said that the issue of supplying missiles to Ukraine is "on the finish line."
