President Biden again refused Kyiv’s request for the ATACMS, insisting the US military doesn’t have enough missiles to spare. Putin is showing 'no sign whatsoever' that he’s ready for peace, said NATO Secretary General jensstoltenberg on Monday.

NATO’s secretary-general warned on Monday that Russian President Vladimir Putin has shown"no sign whatsoever" that he’s ready for peace,"sending thousands and thousands of more troops" into Ukraine in an attempt to seize the initiative. On the same day, Politico reported that the Biden administration had again refused Kyiv’s request for the Army Tactical Missile System, or ATACMS, insisting the U.S. military doesn’t have enough missiles to spare.

ATACMS is fired by rocket artillery systems that have already been transferred to Ukraine. Modern variants of the missile have a 500-pound warhead and 300-kilometer range, well beyond the 85-kilometer range of Ukraine’s current Western-supplied rockets. According to Politico, Lockheed Martin has produced over 4,000 ATACMS missiles for the United States and allied nations. Roughly 600 have apparently been fired by the U.S.

Even if only a small number of ATACMS can currently be spared, they could still help blunt Russia’s efforts to regain the strategic initiative and facilitate Ukraine’s much-anticipated counteroffensive. Given that the U.S. clearly could spare at least some missiles, the Biden administration is likely offering this latest excuse to avoid a debate over its real rationale: fear of Russian escalation. While this risk should not be taken lightly, there are good reasons to believe it is overstated.
