“American government official stated that rockets ended in Ukraine at the end of January”, – WRITE: www.radiosvoboda.org
The US government official said the United States has provided less than 40 such missiles and that they ended in Ukraine at the end of January.
According to AR, the higher US defense leadership, including the previous head of Pentagon Lloyd Austin, made it clear that only a limited ATACMS was put, and that the US and NATO allies consider other weapons more valuable in the fight.
At the same time, as the New York Times wrote at the end of December last year, Ukraine slows down Russia’s shelling by US major range missiles because their reserves are exhausted, as well as a likely change in US President Donald Trump’s newly elected President.
At that time, the publication, citing US officials, wrote that in the spring of 2024, when the United States made a decision to give Ukraine ATACMS, about 500 such missiles were transferred from the Pentagon of Kiev.
Although Ukraine could not use them for blows in Russia, they were beaten for purpose in the occupied territories, in particular in the Crimea.
And after in mid-November, the US Presidential Administration granted Ukraine’s permission to use US ATACMS deep in Russia, only dozens of such missiles remained in Ukraine, probably about 50.
