The White House is preparing to dispatch long-range rocket systems to Ukraine as part of a fresh package of military and other aid that could be announced as soon as next week, according to a new report.
The Biden administration has previously been reluctant to send the advanced weaponry out of concern that Kyiv’s forces could use it to strike targets inside Russia.
That worry was discussed among deputy cabinet members during two national security policy meetings at the White House last week, CNN reported, citing multiple officials.
While the US has sent tens of billions of dollars in military assistance to Ukraine since the brutal Russian invasion began on Feb. 24, top officials in Kyiv — including President Volodymyr Zelensky — have urged the US and other Western nations to do more, in part by providing so-called Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (MLRS).
