Moscow: The Kremlin on Thursday criticised the United States for sending long-rang Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) to Ukraine, saying that the military assistance would not change the outcome of the war but would create more problems. This came after an official said that Washington has secretly shipped long-range missiles to Ukraine in recent weeks to aid its war against Russia.
The missiles were contained in a $300 million military aid package for Ukraine that US President Joe Biden approved on March 12, said the official speaking on condition of anonymity. The official would not say how many of the missiles were sent. White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan also confirmed that a “significant number” of missiles had been sent to Ukraine.
