- On Aug. 23, Washington approved the sale of 3,550 Extended-Range Attack Munition missiles to Ukraine, officials reported.
- A quiet Pentagon review process grants Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth authority to bar Ukrainian long-range strikes inside Russia, using a mechanism with red, yellow and green categories devised by Pentagon policy undersecretary Elbridge Colby.
- The ERAM missile has a range of about 241 kilometers, and other munitions like the British Storm Shadow using U.S. targeting data are covered by a review and a rating system for stock availability.

- The missiles are expected to arrive within six weeks, and a European-funded $850 million package was postponed until after President Donald Trump met Russian President Vladimir Putin on Aug. 15 and President Volodymyr Zelensky days later.
