There are reports today that the U.S. is potentially preparing to transfer AGM-158 Joint Air-To-Surface Standoff Missiles (JASSMs) to Ukraine as part of an upcoming aid package that will be executed in the coming weeks. While the JASSM is more advanced than any standoff weapon in Ukraine's inventory and it would provide enhanced capabilities, its biggest benefit is that the U.S. government could supply a steady flow of the weapons, greatly expanding the number of high-priority target sets Ukraine can strike deep behind enemy lines. Check out the rest here.   Make sure to check out highlights of all our coverage from the last week below. We are also continuing our rolling coverage of the conflict in Ukraine as it develops.    -- Kyle Gunn The War Zone
