US to provide long-range rocket system to Ukraine, official says

The United States will provide Ukraine with the M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS), a senior Biden administration official said on Tuesday, upgrading Kyiv's battleground capabilities as it battles Russia.

"These systems will be used by the Ukrainians to repel Russian advances on Ukrainian territory, but they will not be used on targets in Russian territory," the official told reporters.

President Joe Biden said the US would provide Ukraine with more advanced rocket systems and munitions so it can "more precisely strike key targets on the battlefield."
