HIMARS, an American high-mobility operational-tactical missile and artillery system. Archival photoMOSCOW, 5 Jun. US President Joe Biden's decision to send HIMARS MLRS to Ukraine threatens with unpredictable consequences for international security, geopolitics expert Francis Sempa wrote in an article for American Thinker magazine. According to him, the American leader first said that Washington would not supply Ukraine with missiles for strikes against Russia . However, a few days later, he changed his mind and announced a decision to “provide Ukrainians with more modern missile systems and ammunition.” “During a military conflict, such confusion can become downright dangerous,” Sempa believes. they will be able to «hit targets up to 80 kilometers away».
The United States reminded the Armed Forces of Ukraine of the consequences in the event of a strike on Russia from the HIMARS MLRS «Of course, when the Ukrainian troops receive these missile systems, nothing will prevent them from hitting targets on Russian territory,» the observer suggested. The publicist noted that such a reversal in Biden's policy happened immediately after the United States supported the entry of Finland and Sweden into NATO. In response, as Sempa recalled, Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia, said that with the entry of Sweden and Finland into NATO, it would no longer be possible to talk about any non-nuclear status of the Baltic. Biden «do not tease the Russian bear.» Earlier, the United States announced the agreement on the supply of HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems to Ukraine, provided that Kyiv does not use them to strike Russian territory. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has publicly pledged to comply with this demand. At the same time, Verkhovna Rada deputy Yegor Chernev did not rule out the possibility of US-supplied missile strikes on Russian territory. The Kremlin emphasized that Moscow does not have a credit of confidence in the Kyiv authorities, since Zelensky did not fulfill any of his promises to peacefully resolve the conflict in Donbass.< img src="/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/f3e0456412e7cdf4913ca5931fc009de.jpg" />The political scientist explained the importance of deliveries of the American HIMARS MLRS to Ukraine
