However, not all weapons can be used to shell the territory of the aggressor country. The use of HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems, GMLRS guided munitions and artillery is permitted. Long-range ATACMS missiles are not permitted. This was reported by The Wall Street Journal.
It is noted that it is allowed to hit enemy command posts, weapons depots and other objects on Russian territory that are used by the invaders to attack Kharkov in northeastern Ukraine.
The article also says the narrow geographic scope is an attempt by US President Joe Biden’s administration to help Ukraine better defend against a Russian offensive. At the same time, it will limit the risk of the war in Ukraine escalating into a direct clash between Washington and Moscow.
Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken commented on the permission to use American weapons against Russia.
We must be convinced that they (the Ukrainian military) have undergone the necessary training (use of weapons) and have certain capabilities in handling them,” he said.
Let us remind you that on the morning of May 31 it became known that the United States allowed Ukraine to use the provided American weapons to strike Russian territory, but only in the border areas of the Kharkov region.
The corresponding message was transmitted through the military. President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky received this information this morning.
