The White House said that the next delivery of HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems to Ukraine is very likely.

John Kirby, strategic communications coordinator for the US National Security Council, said this, Voice of America reports..

" It's very likely," "

Kirby stressed that defense deliveries to Ukraine are coming in at a record speed: " Literally, supplies are coming in every day, and not only from the US, we are simply the biggest donor, but more than 40 other countries from all over the world are also helping Ukraine in various forms."

Systems important for defense against Russian artillery, says Kirby.

" - When it comes to the war in the Donbass, this is a fairly flat region, where both troops depend on artillery.

HIMARS will give the Ukrainian military the ability to stand at a distance so that they physically have some space for better maneuver and better defense against Russian artillery, which has a greater range than Ukrainian artillery.

Kirby notes that the Ukrainians themselves will decide how to use weapons.

" – What they get from the USA is now theirs, it is already the property of the Ukrainians, and they decide how they will use it. Of course, we want to see that Ukrainian sovereignty is respected and that Ukrainian territorial integrity is fully restored.. And Zelensky has to decide what that victory will look like."
