The American government continues to follow the policy of limiting the weapons provided to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, confirmed Patrick Ryder.
Washington has not changed its position on the use of weapons provided to Kyiv on Russian territory This is what the representative of the US Department of Defense, General Patrick Ryder, Ukrinform reported on Wednesday, May 22.
A representative of the Pentagon responded in this way to a request to comment on the position of the American government on the possibility of the Armed Forces of Ukraine using transferred weapons against targets in Russia itself.
“The Secretary (Defense Lloyd Austin – ed.) emphasized that our policy has not changed,” the official said.
The United States is committed to providing Ukraine with the capabilities “necessary to defend itself within the sovereign territory of Ukraine,” Ryder added.
The United States Department of Defense will continue to communicate with Ukrainians and international allies to ensure that the Ukrainian Armed Forces receive all the necessary weapons to protect Ukraine, he assured.
Let’s remember that Bloomberg said in its material that the United States does not allow Ukraine to strike Russian territory with American weapons, but Kyiv needs such permission to stop the Russian offensive in part of the eastern regions. However, there are indications that Washington’s position on cross-border strikes using US weapons may change.
