This was reported by the Voice of America.
This statement came amid requests from official Kyiv to supply Ukraine with multiple rocket launchers, or MLRS, whose combat radius is hundreds of kilometers.
Earlier, US officials said supplies of such weapons were being considered.
Last Friday, the American media, citing its sources, reported that the
Biden
administration was inclined to send MLRS, as well as highly mobile artillery missile systems known as HIMARS, as part of a major package of military aid to Ukraine.
In addition, The New York Times reported on the possibility of deliveries of M31 GMLRS (Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System) - high-precision MLRS with satellite guidance.
HIMARS mobile artillery missile system
The range of such a system is about 65 km, which, according to the newspaper, far exceeds the range of any artillery used by Ukraine today.
Reuters notes that it is unclear what missile systems President Biden meant when asked by reporters.
The Ukrainian government has repeatedly called on the West to give it more long-range weapons to change the course of the war, which has been going on for four months.
