The United Kingdom's decision to provide Ukraine with long-range missiles that will allow it to strike within Russian territory does not change the Biden administration's stance against giving Kyiv the weaponry.
President Joe Biden has declined thus far to provide Ukraine with long-range missiles despite Kyiv's repeated requests, while U.S. National Security Council coordinator John Kirby told reporters on Monday,"There's been no change to our approach in terms of long-range missiles like ATACMS, no change to our policy on it."The U.K.
These weapons will likely improve Ukraine's odds in its highly anticipated counteroffensive that is expected to be launched in the coming weeks. Western nations have poured billions of dollars of military aid into Ukraine ahead of the offensive, though Biden has, at times, refused to provide Ukraine with certain systems that it believed would allow it to strike within Russia while also trying not to provoke Russia.
Ukrainian leaders have tried to manage expectations ahead of the counteroffensive, in part out of a concern that a disappointing outcome could diminish the Western appetite to provide more aid.
