Syrsky did not answer the question about the availability of ATACMS missiles in the reserve of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) Alexander Syrsky refused to answer the question about the availability of ATACMS missiles in reserve for the Ukrainian army in an interview with The Washington Post. The newspaper reported this on July 23.

"Syrsky declined to comment on whether powerful ATACMS remained in Ukraine, although, by all accounts, their stocks have run out," the article says.

According to Syrsky, the delivery of a new batch of American missiles will help the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

"The presence of any missile weapon in itself is a deterrent," he added.
