Not only Kharkiv: the United States allowed them to beat their weapons for all hazardous facilities in the Russian Federation

The Armed Forces can use the weapons set by Americans to defeat any Russian forces that attack from abroad, not just those who are in the Kharkiv area. The White House Advisor Jake Sullivan has stated that a Ukrainian weapon agreement with Ukraine extends to "any place where Russian troops cross the border from the Russian side to the Ukrainian side to try to capture additional Ukrainian territory.

" The statement was made after the danger has arisen that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation can move to the Sumy region. Politico writes about it. A slight shift in the exchange of messages, which is claimed in the White House, is not a change of policy, occurred only a few weeks after the United States gave Kiev green light for the task of blows in Russia in response to a cross -border attack on the city of Kharkiv.

At that time, US officials emphasized that policy, among other restrictions, is limited to the Kharkiv region. Since then, the Ukrainian forces have used at least once a US weapon to strike in Russia, destroying targets in Belgorod and managed to restrain the Russian offensive. But official Kiev and European allies of Ukraine demanded that the United States weaken the restrictions, allowing Ukraine to strike at any point in Russia.

National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan stated that an agreement with Ukraine on the strike of US weapons in the Russian Federation extends to "any place where Russian troops cross the border with Ukraine to try to capture Ukrainian territories. " In recent days, Russia has made it clear that soon the offensive on the amounts located near the border from the Russian Federation. If this happens, this policy will be applied there, Sullivan said. "It is not in geography. It is a common sense.

Two US officials on anonymity noted that Ukraine's permission to strike inside Russia in response to a fire in response from anywhere across the border is not a shift in politics since the Kharkiv decision is made. "Initially, this step was characterized only in the context of the continuing offensive of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on Kharkiv, but this did not reject the opportunity to strike in response to other cross -border attacks," one of the officials said.

However, the formulation of Sullivan is noticeably different from what US officials said in May, when a new policy was described in detail. We will remind, in early June in Washington stated that they took "lightning measures" to allow Kiev to use weapons of the United States to strike for limited purposes in Russia.
