Unchanged Position: Ukraine will not be able to hit 90% of Russian aircraft atacms - Kirby

According to the White House Advisor from the National Security, the idea that lifting the ban on strikes in the Russian territory will be able to change something is wrong. This is due to the fact that the enemy has placed his aircraft hundreds of kilometers from the front line. Farbid ATACMS missiles that Ukraine wants to get along with the blows of Russia, will not be able to hit about 90% of enemy aircraft. This opinion was voiced by the White House Advisor John Kirby during a briefing.

According to him, Moscow has already relocated the majority of its aircraft deep into the country, so the idea that with the help of ATACMS missiles will be able to strike hostile planes in large numbers, is not true.

Separately, journalists asked the representative of the US Presidential Administration Joe Biden about whether Washington is going to change the position on assistance to Ukraine after the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Poltava and Lviv, where dozens of civilians were killed. John Kirby replied that "there is nothing new. " "Our position on strikes in Russia remains unchanged.

I note that 90% of aircraft used by Russia for air strikes, placed at a distance of more than 300 kilometers from the border with Ukraine. Therefore, the statement that ATACMS will allow Ukraine to destroy most of these aircraft is false" , - summed up the White House Advisor on National Security. We will remind, on September 3 it was reported that the ban on US strikes in Russia is greatly harming Ukraine, and Washington continues to look for new excuses, wrote in their material The Economist.

The Ukrainian authorities want to get from the White House and the Pentagon the answer, why some so -called "red lines" can not be observed and others are strongly controlled. Vladimir Zelensky next week may have the last chance to convince Joe Baiden. On August 29, it was reported that hundreds of Russian military sites remain at a distance of ATACMS missiles, which is stated in the report of the American Institute for War Study.
