President Joe Biden said Monday that the US won’t supply Ukraine with long-range rocket frameworks that can a hit Russian area,
“We won’t ship off Ukraine rocket frameworks that can strike into Russia,” Biden told Reuters columnist Steve Holland when asked on the US position.
Biden didn’t expound on which explicit long-range rocket frameworks the US had precluded sending. Ukraine has said long-range weapons are its most pressing solicitation from partners.

“Ukraine should get every one of the weapons and all the protection hardware that will permit the loss of oppression — specifically the M142 HIMARS and M270 MLRS various send off rocket frameworks,” he said.
The US has a wide choice of long-range rocket frameworks, including the MGM-140 ATACMS, which has a scope of 190 miles.
Last week Ukraine’s military said it required “NATO-style MLRS” weapons “right away” to battle Russian advances.

Dmitry Medvedev, the delegate executive of Russia’s Security Council and previous Russian president, composed on Telegram Monday recommending that Biden offered his expression on lengthy reach weapons since he realized Russia would send off a retaliatory assault on the US.
“The Russian Armed Forces would have satisfied their danger and struck at the focuses of these criminal choices. Some of them are not situated in Kyiv by any means. What’s straightaway, don’t bother explain…,” he composed.
