GOP Senators Push Biden to Provide Ukraine with Long-Range Missiles to End War

Senators Tom Cotton, Roger Wicker, Susan Collins, and Lindsey Graham have sent a letter to President Joe Biden urging him to send MGM-140 Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) to Ukraine to aid in its war against Russia. The senators argue that providing ATACMS would enhance Ukraine's military capabilities and increase the likelihood of success in its counteroffensive. They also highlight that the U.S. has the capacity to produce and replenish these missiles without compromising its own combat capability. The Senate Armed Services Committee has unanimously approved the Department of Defense sending long-range missiles to Ukraine, and the senators emphasize that any further delay in providing military aid will only prolong the conflict and undermine U.S. national security interests.
