According to the newspaper, the Pentagon initially objected to the supply of missiles of the far radius of action, fearing the possible loss of such missiles from the American arsenal and their use by Ukraine for attacks deep into Russia. However, the supply of missiles from the DPRK to Russia was convinced by the United States. The United States secretly put Ukraine's far away missiles of the DACMS action over the last weeks.

About Wednesday, April 24, reports Reuters with reference to an unnamed American official. According to the newspaper, these missiles were included in the military assistance package worth $ 300 million, which was approved by US President Joe Biden on March 12. In doing so, the insider refused to clarify the number of missiles sent.

"The missiles were first applied early on the morning of April 17, they were launched at the Russian airfield in Crimea, which was about 165 km (103 miles) from the Ukrainian front line, the official said," the material said. According to the agency, the issues of supplying ATCMS missiles have been discussed in Biden administration for several months. Last September, Medium -range missiles were set up.

The Pentagon initially objected to the supply of a long -range rocket, fearing the possible loss of such missiles from the American arsenal and their use by Ukraine for attacks deep into Russia. However, the use of Ballistic Missiles of the Far Radius of Actions staged by North Korea against Ukraine in December and January forced the United States to change its mind. According to the insider, Biden agreed to send missiles to Ukraine after meeting with his national security team in mid -February.

In March, funding was found for this assistance, and the missiles were sent secret to maintain operational security and a "surprise element for Ukraine". Recall that on April 24, US President Joe Biden signed the Senate approved by the Senate Bill to assist Ukraine. The White House Head has stated that help would come to Ukraine in the coming hours. On the same day, the Pentagon voiced the list of equipment for the 56th Package.
