The United States is providing powerful rocket systems to Ukraine to combat Russia. Here's why it's important.
Summary by NewsWall Apr 29 23
- According to Phil Wasielewski, a fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute in Philadelphia, the devices will boost Ukrainian forces in the Donbas, where the fight has "turned into an artillery duel."
- US authorities have been debating whether to send the MLRS to eastern Ukraine for weeks, owing to the weapons' long capabilities, which may allow Ukrainian forces to fire directly into Russian territory.
- He claimed that it was not too late for the weaponry to assist Ukrainian forces in defending locations and halting future Russian advances in the Donbas.
- Massive fire precedes Russian advances.
