US Military Prepared to Send Cluster Munition-Armed Missiles to Ukraine Pending Biden Approval: Reports

The US military is prepared to send long-range ATACMS missiles armed with cluster munitions to Ukraine once President Joe Biden approves the transfer, according to Bloomberg. Although the US has not officially announced the shipment, multiple news networks have reported that it will occur. There is speculation that the missiles may already be en route to Ukraine and will be announced after they are used on the battlefield. The US Department of Defense has confirmed its readiness to transfer the missiles once President Biden gives the go-ahead. However, US Secretary of Defense Austin has stated that he has nothing to announce regarding the provision of ATACMS to Ukraine, and it is unlikely that this will change until the Ukrainians utilize them in combat.
