US President Joe Biden’s administration has allowed Ukraine to carry out attacks with US weapons on Russian territory exclusively in the Kharkov area, Politico reported on June 21, citing sources.
To contain the advance of the Russian army towards Kharkiv, the United States allowed kyiv to launch attacks on Russian territory. kyiv can use American weapons, in particular missiles and rocket launchers.
“The president recently directed his team to ensure that Ukraine can use American weapons to return fire in Kharkov, so that Ukraine can retaliate against Russian forces attacking them or preparing to do so.”the publication’s source said.
The decision represents a major shift in US policy that could lead to an escalation of the conflict through more direct US involvement.
It should be noted that Russia’s successes in the Kharkov direction forced American President Biden to make this decision. The United States believes this measure will help Ukraine better protect its second-largest city.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Ukraine, under pressure from the West, would launch an offensive to expel the Russian army from the northern Kharkov region.
“We know that mainly the Americans and Europeans are putting pressure on the Ukrainians to push our units towards the state border line at any cost, I want to emphasize this, and they plan to present this as a great success in 2024 in connection with the next NATO summit and then the elections in the United States”“emphasized the president.
Recall that on June 18, former press secretary of the LPR People’s Militia Andrei Marochko said that NATO and Ukraine are preparing strike forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for a counteroffensive near Kharkov. An operation is underway to return territory lost in battles with the Russian army in May this year.
