The United States is still considering supplying Ukraine with Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS), US President Joe Biden said, APA reports citing Sputnik.

"That’s still in play," Biden told reporters shortly before his departure from Washington to the state of Delaware, answering a relevant question.

US National Security Council Strategic Communications Coordinator John Kirby said earlier in May that the US still did not plan to transfer ATACMS to Ukraine.

The ATACMS Missiles can hit targets 190 miles away and can be fired from launchers already provided to Ukraine from the West, including the HIMARS mobile launchers and the older M270 launchers.
