Ukraine has been asking the U.S. for ATACMs, which are surface-to-surface long-range missile systems, for months. Asked whether the U.S. is concerned Ukraine could use longer-range systems like ATACMs to strike inside Russia, Kahl said Ukrainians are going to make their own decisions but U.S. policy remains not to enable strikes inside Russia.
