Kremlin says U.S. long-range missiles sent to Ukraine will not change war's outcome
The Kremlin said on Thursday that deliveries of U.S. long-range Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) to Ukraine would not change the outcome of the war but would create more problems for Ukraine itself. The United States in recent weeks secretly shipped long-range missiles to Ukraine, which has so far used them twice, a U.S. official said on Wednesday.

Long sought by Ukrainian leaders, the new missiles give Ukraine nearly double the striking distance — up to 300 kilometers (190 miles) — that it had with the mid-range version of the weapon that it received from the U.S. last October.

US proposal for frozen Russian asset revenues gaining ground, G7 officials say
A U.S. proposal for using future interest on some $300 billion in frozen Russian assets to aid Ukraine, instead of seizing them outright, is gaining momentum among the Group of Seven nations, two G7 officials said. Collateralizing the interest earned on the frozen Russian assets, which would amount to some $5 billion a year, is emerging as one of the favored options to bridge differences between the U.S. and Europe ahead of a G7 leaders summit in Italy in June. But G7 members are still arguing about certain "holdbacks" that would whittle down those expected windfall profits to just $2.5-$3.0 billion, one of the officials said, pointing to Belgium's 25% tax rate, a "convenience fee" applied by depository Euroclear, and a proposed litigation reserve.
