The US can allow the Russian Federation, but there is a nuance - the Times

According to The Times, the use of British and French weapons to strikes in the Russian Federation can increase the risk of escalation against the United Kingdom and France. The United States of America can allow Ukraine to use rockets for strikes in the military facilities of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Russia, but not its weapons. About it writes The Times with reference to its own sources.

The publication notes that Washington can allow Storm Shadow and their French analogues to defeat goals in the Russian territory, but with the support of such a step in the United Kingdom and France. However, the United States is unlikely to give permission to use its own weapons. US President Joe Biden is expected to discuss this issue with other European leaders to find out their opinion on this issue.

At the same time, the United Kingdom and France support the removal of restrictions on the use of its long -range weapons. "This is an intermediate option, it is less than Ukraine asked, but it is better than nothing from Ukraine's point of view. It increases the risk of escalation against the United Kingdom and France, but not against the United States," - said the newspaper with reference to the Senior Land Successful Warflior Ben Barry, International Institute for Strategic Studies.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky has repeatedly requested permission to use American missiles, but every time he received a refusal. In particular, the permission to use ATCMS is not granted due to their limited number. Defense Express noted that this weapon was best used for attacks in Crimea. We will add that on September 11, US Secretary of State Atony Blinken came to Kiev.
