The US hasn’t made a decision on whether to send ATACMS long-range missiles or cluster munitions to Ukraine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley said, adding that a counteroffensive against Russian forces was making slow but steady advances.
“That would be a decision by the president,” Milley told the National Press Club of deliberations about sending cluster munitions. He said the was “no decision” yet on whether to send the ATACMS, a weapons system that could fire deeper into Russian territory and would give Ukraine a crucial new advantage.
