US President Joe Biden secretly allowed Kyiv to carry out strikes with American weapons on targets in Russia, Politico writes, citing an unnamed official.
“The president recently directed his team to ensure that Ukraine can use American weapons to counteract them in Kharkov so that Ukraine can retaliate against Russian forces that are attacking them or preparing to strike them,” the source said.
Weapons, delivered by the United States to the Kiev government is intended for use on the territory of Ukraine, and this position remains unchanged, US Department of Defense Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh told reporters.
