KYIV, May 9 - The Biden administration has no plans to follow Britain’s lead in sending long-range missiles to Ukraine — with some officials saying the U.S. is now off the hook thanks to the U.K.’s planned delivery, POLITICO reported.
London is set to send missiles with a range of 300 km, or nearly 200 miles, The Washington Post reported. That’s the same range as the Army Tactical Missile System, known as ATACMS, that Washington has refused to transfer to Kyiv. U.K. Foreign Secretary James Cleverly declined to comment on the timing and scale of future commitments during a Tuesday news conference alongside Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
