Ukraine seeks advanced weapons from allies to boost military efforts against Russia

Ukraine is seeking more powerful weapons from Western allies to enhance its military efforts against Russia. Recently, the U.S. approved the use of longer-range ATACMS missiles, allowing Ukraine to strike deeper into Russian territory. Ukraine has already launched six of these missiles. In addition to ATACMS, Ukraine is interested in other advanced weaponry, including German-made Taurus missiles, which have a range of 311 miles. However, Germany has not yet agreed to supply these missiles. Other potential weapons include Vampire and Patriot missiles for air defense, and the SAMP/T system for medium and long-range missile protection. The recent developments have prompted discussions among allies about providing additional support to Ukraine. This includes the possibility of using Storm Shadow missiles, which have already been seen in action against Russian targets.
