US Ready To Provide Kiev With Cluster ATACMS
The White House is close to deciding it will provide Ukraine with a cluster-armed version of the Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS), which has a range of nearly 200 miles and can be fired from HIMARS launchers, according to the Washington Post. The HIMARS in Kyiv’s possession are currently firing munitions with a range of 50 miles. The US arming Ukrainian forces with ATACMS would mark a significant escalation in the proxy war with Russia and cross Moscow’s “red line.”

McCarthy Restores Ukraine Funding to DoD Bill

On Friday, McCarthy said that due to significant concern about providing funding to Ukraine, he would strip a provision in the National Defense Authorization Act that provided $300 million in assistance for Kyiv. A day later, the Speaker reversed course saying his plan did not have the votes to pass. “It became too difficult to do that, so we’re leaving it in,” he said.
Schumer additionally wants to attach a $24 billion aid package to Ukraine within the CR. The $24 billion package is separate from the $300 million in funding attached to McCarthy’s defense appropriations bill.
