A website says: Biden allowed Ukraine to use American weapons on Russian territory world

US President Joe Biden secretly gave Ukraine permission to attack Russia with US weapons near the Kharkiv border region. This was revealed by Politico on Thursday (30), citing statements by US government officials.

According to Politico, an administration official said, “The president recently directed his team to ensure that Ukraine can use U.S. weapons for counterfire purposes in Kharkiv to retaliate against Russian forces targeting the country or if they are preparing to attack him.”

The same source also added that the policy of not allowing long-range attacks inside Russia “has not changed.”

According to reports, this move was a request from Ukraine to the United States after the Russian offensive began in Kharkiv this month.

In practice, Ukraine can now use US-supplied weapons, such as missiles and rocket launchers, to shoot down Russian missiles launched towards Kharkiv; And against the buildup of troops on the Russian border near the city; Or Russian bombers launched towards Ukrainian territory.

However, Ukraine cannot use these weapons to target civilian infrastructure or launch long-range missiles to strike military targets inside Russia.
