The United States is expected to maintain restrictions on Ukraine's use of American long-range weapons, despite pressure from a Ukrainian delegation visiting Washington. This decision comes amid reports that the U.S. has decreased its shipment of ATACMS missiles to Ukraine. Over the past year, the U.S. sent approximately 200 ATACMS to Ukraine, accounting for about 1.4% of all U.S. long-range missiles. U.S. officials have indicated that Kyiv should not expect another significant delivery of these missiles due to limited U.S. inventories and the lengthy production time required for these weapons.
