ATACMS missiles for Ukraine “still in play” – US President Biden

On 29 May, commenting on Russia’s increasing attacks on Kyiv, US President Joe Biden said that it is not unexpected, and “that’s why we got to continue to give Ukraine all they need.”

Asked whether it is time for ATACMS for Ukraine, President Biden replied:

“That’s still in play.”
