The United States has declared that it has not changed its policy on strikes deep into the Russian Federation

The US policy on long-term strikes on Russian territory with American weapons has not changed, despite the Ukrainian operation in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said this in a briefing on Monday, August 19.

“I have nothing to share about their military operation. They (Ukrainians) are defending their sovereign territory against aggression from Russia, which we have seen for more than two years now. I would say that our policy has not changed. I have nothing to add to it.” , said Jean-Pierre, answering a question about allowing Ukraine to launch deeper strikes against Russia, in the context of the Ukrainian operation in the Kursk region.

Let’s recall that on Monday, President Vladimir Zelensky called on Ukrainian diplomats to work to ensure that Western partners extend permission to use the long-range weapons they transferred for attacks on Russian territory.

Earlier, the Pentagon explained the ban on deep strikes in the Russian Federation by the fact that Russia may respond to crossing “red lines” in the future.
