After most NATO countries authorized the use of their weapons against the aggressor, the White House authorized such attacks from American weapons.
The United States allowed Ukraine to use American weapons to strike Russia up to 100 km from the border. Also, the permit does not apply to major airports in Russia. The Washington Post writes about it on Friday, June 21.
According to an unnamed representative of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, the permission of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to strike military targets in Russia with US weapons “clearly changed the situation,” but “neither the scope nor the category of weapons is not enough.”
At the same time, American officials deny the existence of such restrictions.
“The United States has agreed to allow Ukraine to fire American weapons at Russia across a section of the border where Russian troops will try to seize Ukrainian territory. Ukraine from its territory, the Defense Forces could conduct a strike in response to troops attacking it from another country,” Pentagon spokesman Charlie Dietz said.
According to him, Ukraine is also allowed to use American air defense systems to destroy Russian aircraft “if they intend to open fire in Ukrainian airspace.”
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.
