Quote: "We had a thorough discussion today on the issue of providing Ukraine with long-range ATACMS missiles. We had a highly substantive conversation," Kuleba said.

Details: The Ukrainian Foreign Minister said he was delighted that "this option remains open".

"We hope that discussions within the administration will lead to a positive decision," Kuleba added.

Regarding the supply of ATACMS missiles, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy recently stated that he believes that Ukraine will get results from the US, as it has with other types of weapons.

The Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) is a surface-to-surface missile with a range of about 300 kilometres, about four times longer than the missiles used by the HIMARS mobile systems that the US began sending to Ukraine last year.

Kuleba had previously stressed that Ukraine would use long-range missiles exclusively within its territory.
