Britain ready to supply Ukraine with ATACMS analogues 

CNN reported the information.

On January 18, Pentagon Deputy Chief of Staff Colin Kahl said that the US adheres to the "agree to disagree" position regarding the supply of ATACMS to Ukraine.

Taking this into consideration, British officials are more open to supplying similar systems. CNN adds that these discussions are taking place "quietly" because Britain does not want to appear separate from its allies.

CNN notes that Ukrainian officials have asked London to take a more leading role in this matter.

"They also want British officials to more aggressively brief allied foreign secretaries and defense ministers on what the Ukrainians believe are the operational realities of the war – and what they need to win it," the article says.

• On October 3, Ukraine asked the United States to provide long-range ATACMS missile systems with the condition that it agrees on the targets to be hit.

• On December 29, Former US European Forces Commander General Ben Hodges assured that if Ukraine receives ATACMS missiles from the United States, they will allow it to hit targets in Crimea and other key positions of the Russian army.
