The situation in Kharkiv region may change if the US agree to cancel one ban on the Armed Forces - WSJ

Now in Kharkiv, Moscow can transfer troops and weapons to the front with much more efficiency than in other regions, said expert George Barros. The situation in the Kharkiv region can change quickly if the United States gives the Armed Forces permission to strike their weapons in the Russian territory. This was stated by the analyst of the American Institute for War Study George Barros, writes The Wall Street Journal. "Ukrainians cannot withstand Russians (American weapons. - Ed.

) Until they cross the international border," he commented on the White House ban. In doing so, the analyst believes that the United States can "immediately change the battlefield" in the Kharkiv region in case of cancellation of this ban. In the current situation, Moscow can throw troops and weapons to the front with much more efficiency than in other regions where they have to dispersal and mask the position on the front line.

It is known that in one of the recent interviews, Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that the authorities have repeatedly appealed to US President Joe Baiden and other partner countries to allow them to use their weapons for such attacks. According to the Western media, they oppose this in the White House. The Pentagon also states that Washington's position has not changed on this issue.

At the same time, a group of representatives of the US Congress has signed an appeal to the Minister of Defense Lloyd Austin, they are asked to grant Ukraine's permission for strategic purposes of Russia "under certain circumstances". On May 22, the NSDC Secretary Oleksandr Litvinenko stated that the Russian army would not have begun a new offensive in the Kharkiv direction if Ukraine was allowed to attack the territory of the Russian Federation with Western weapons.
