As Russia&#x27;s tactics change, so must our support to Ukraine. <\/p>\n<p>&quot;These highly capable multiple-launch rocket systems will enable our Ukrainian friends to better protect themselves

there would be a response if the US supplied longer-range munitions for the HIMARS systems.<\/p>\n<p>The US Department of Defense said it was supplying Ukraine four M142 HIMARS systems along with the
