US Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated this.
It is important to note that the decision on how to use Western military equipment and where to use these decisions rests solely with Ukrainians. They must decide how best to defend their country, how best to return the lands. We leave it solely to their opinion. Here, our influence on the situation can only be advisory,” Blinken said, speaking at the Baker Institute think tank.
According to him, the United States is not going to “encourage” strikes by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on Russian territory and does not support such attacks.
However, according to him, the final decision to carry out these attacks in any case remains with Ukraine, whose military leadership must decide how necessary these strikes are.
Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition Doug Bush recently announced that the US Army is ready to quickly send ATACMS to Ukraine immediately after Joseph Biden’s approval.
We are ready to act quickly,” he said, noting that the US Army is prepared for such a development.
