Summary: Ukraine has received long-range ballistic missiles from the U.S., doubling its striking distance to 300 kilometers. President Biden approved the delivery of Army Tactical Missile Systems in a $300 million aid package. The U.S. had initially hesitated due to concerns about escalating conflict with Russia. The missiles were used to strike Russian targets in Crimea and Berdyansk. Ukraine's use of the weapons was kept secret until now.
