Ukraine’s defense minister stated that his country “passed the test” in using U.S.-made long-range rocket systems that were provided in a recent round of federal aid, although he claimed that more systems are needed.

Oleksii Reznikov, the minister, said that longer-range weapons are needed more than short-range weapons in the months-long war, noting that the conflict is primarily artillery-based.
