Calling on the Biden administration to immediately provide Army Tactical Missile Systems to Ukraine.
HRES 488 is a non-binding resolution calling on the Biden administration to transfer Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) to Ukraine. It requests immediate provision of these long-range missiles - capable of striking targets up to 200 miles away - to help Ukraine counter Russian forces by targeting logistics hubs and command centers deeper in occupied territory. The resolution notes Ukraine already operates compatible launch systems and cites that allies like the UK and France have provided similar long-range weapons without triggering significant Russian escalation. It emphasizes that delaying this transfer could prolong the war and that the U.S. possesses sufficient existing stockpiles to fulfill the request while maintaining military readiness. The resolution does not mandate action but urges the administration to act.
