The easing of restrictions comes weeks after the US gave Kyiv the green light to carry out strikes on Russian territory in response to the attack on Kharkov.
The United States allowed Ukraine to use American weapons to strike any Russian forces attacking the border, not just those in the Kharkov area. This was announced by White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan on Thursday, June 20, Politico wrote.
“The agreement with Ukraine to fire American weapons at Russia applies to any place where Russian troops cross the border from the Russian side to the Ukrainian side to try to occupy additional Ukrainian territory,” he said. .
Sullivan noted that Russia has indicated it may move toward the northeastern city of Sumy, which is located near the Russian border. Sullivan noted that if that happens, the policy will apply there as well.
“It’s not a matter of geography. It’s a matter of common sense. If Russia is attacking or planning to attack Ukraine from its territory, then it makes sense to allow Ukraine to retaliate against forces attacking it from on the other side of the border,” Sullivan said.
Politico said Sullivan’s language now differs from what US officials said in May.
We remind you that Biden said that the United States and its allies will continue to help Ukraine in the fight against Russian aggression, otherwise the country will become a slave and Europe will be under threat.
