 Republicans in US Congress calls for longer-range ATA CMS for Ukraine. A group of high-ranking Republicans in the US Congress has called on President Joe Biden to send missiles with longer effective range to Ukraine. Reuters obtained a letter to President Joe Biden dated the 1st of November. It is stated there that leading Republicans on the Congressional Foreign Relations and Armed Services Committees said they welcomed reports that the administration had provided Ukraine with several Army tactical missile systems but asked that he also send more longer-range systems. Ukraine's requirement for deep strike capability remains urgent, particularly to range targets throughout Crimea. Representatives Michael McCall and Mike Rogers and Senators James Rich and Roger Wicker noted. McCall chairs the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Rogers chairs the House Armed Services Committee, Rich is the top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and Wicker is the top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee. They sent the letter as the Republican majority House of Representatives nears a vote on the separate Israel aid bill, ignoring Democratic President Joe Biden's demand that it pass a broad US $106 billion national security funding package that includes money for Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan. In their letter, the US lawmakers noted that Ukraine had requested the long-range missiles and demonstrated the ability to use them responsibly and that Russia had not escalated in response to their use. Clearly it is time for you to finish the job on ATACMS. The costs of failing to do so not only risks stalemate on the battlefield and the further protraction of this war but also threatens further global instability as our adversaries conduct influence operations around the globe, they wrote.
