The United States is nearing an agreement to supply Ukraine with long-range Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missiles (JASSMs), according to U.S. officials. These cruise missiles are capable of reaching deep into Russian territory and could significantly impact the ongoing conflict. The agreement is expected to be finalized by autumn 2024, but Ukraine will need to wait several months for delivery as the U.S. addresses technical issues ahead of shipment. The JASSMs are anticipated to be part of an upcoming military aid package for Kyiv, as reported by Reuters.
