ATCMS missiles is not a "magic ball" for Ukraine - representatives of Biden

US officials say that new missiles will help Ukraine "increase pressure" on Russia's Black Sea Fleet, but will not become a weapon that will change the "rules of the game". Baiden's administration representatives insist that ATACMS will not become a "magic ball" for Ukraine. About it reports Politico. For the words of US officials, new missiles will help Ukraine, but will not become a weapon that will change the "rules of the game".

"The war that has been going on for 18 months is still an artillery battle, and progress is measured in feasts, not in miles. Demand takes away the time of soldiers, preventing a rapid maneuver to win the territory," the message reads. The publication stated that depending on when the missiles arrive, they will increase the pressure that Ukraine exerts on the Black Sea Fleet of Russia, based in Crimea in recent weeks.

According to the US and European military, the situation is complicated by the fact that Ukraine has only a few weeks left to achieve the key goals in the counter -offensive before the cold, which will complicate the fighting. "There is probably about 30 to 45 days to combat weather conditions," said General Milly, chairman of the Joint Committee of Staff, said the Chairman of the Joint Committee of Staff.

It is known that the decision to send ATACMS was made at the moment when the United Kingdom and France hesitated whether to continue to supply winged winged rockets to Ukraine. "London and Paris have sent their Storm Shadow and Scalp missiles," the message added. However, according to French Air Force Headquarters Stefan Mill, France will stop Scalp deliveries in the near future because they are needed by Paris.
