(Reuters) - Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Tuesday Kyiv has used U.S.-provided long-range Army Tacticle Missile System (ATACMS) missiles.

Kyiv has repeatedly asked the U.S. administration for ATACMS, in the hope the missiles could strengthen Ukraine's ability to attack and disrupt supply lines, air bases and rail networks in Russian-occupied territory, that could not be reached by short-range equipment.
