The United States has refused to discuss the delivery publicly, but has quietly delivered a small number of long-range ballistic missiles to Ukraine.
The United States has quietly delivered a small number of long-range ballistic missiles to Ukraine and they are being used on the battlefield against Russian forces, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has confirmed. "Today I express special gratitude to the United States," Zelenskyy said in his evening address, adding that the missiles "have proven themselves".
Ukraine's Special Operations Forces claimed that a night-time attack on targets in eastern and southern Ukraine destroyed nine Russian helicopters and other military equipment and personnel at two airfields in Russia-occupied regions The ATACMS would be key in Ukraine's ability to hit the airfield in Berdyansk since it is just within striking distance of the shorter-range version of the missile, and the cluster munitions would be effective in hitting multiple targets.
