Over the past two years, the United States has rallied 50 countries to defend Ukraine and provide it with the weapons it needs to defend itself and repel Russian aggression.

The United States of America does not encourage Ukraine to use Western weapons to attack the territory of the aggressor country, Russia. However, Ukraine has the right to independently decide how to conduct the war. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said this on Wednesday, May 22, during a hearing at the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives of Congress.

He noted that Kyiv will decide for itself how to effectively manage weapons transferred from the United States or other states.

Blinken emphasized that the job of the United States and its allies is to provide Ukraine with the weapons it needs to repel Russian aggression.

“When it comes to authorizing and approving attacks outside of Ukraine, we haven’t done that, but Ukraine has to make its own decisions, and I want to make sure that it gets the equipment it needs to defend itself effectively. itself,” the US foreign policy chief added.

So, Blinken responded to House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul, who said that “the Biden administration and Jake Sullivan personally restricted the use of weapons to prevent Ukraine from defending itself and the return fire at Russia. “

At the same time, McCaul asked Blinken if the White House would change the policy so that Ukraine could not fight “one hand tied behind its back.”

Let’s remember that Bloomberg previously wrote that the United States does not allow Ukraine to attack Russian territory with American weapons, but Kyiv needs such permission to stop the Russian offensive in part of the eastern regions. However, there are requirements that Washington’s position on cross-border strikes using American weapons may change.
