White House is ready to provide Ukraine with long-range Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) if Congress approves a new funding package
The U.S. initiated the delivery of ATACMS ballistic missiles to Ukraine late last year, but they were of an older, medium-range modification with a range of 165 kilometers.
Currently, the U.S. is considering providing Ukraine with longer-range missiles, enabling the country to target locations at greater distances, according to NBC News.

Newer variations of ATACMS have a maximum range of around 300 kilometers and have not been provided to Ukraine so far. This will allow Ukraine to strike further within the controlled Crimea peninsula.
According to publication, if Congress approves increased funding for Ukraine, the U.S. may include long-range ATACMS systems in one of the first packages of military aid paid for with these funds.
