The United States may allow the Ukrainian Armed Forces to carry out strikes deep into the Russian Federation using long-range missiles from allied countries.
This was reported by the American publication The New York Times.
Under what conditions will the US allow the Ukrainian Armed Forces to strike at Russia?
According to the NYT, the administration of US President Joseph Biden will lift restrictions on strikes deep into Russia on the condition that the Ukrainian Armed Forces do not use American weapons.
It is noted that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is putting pressure on Western countries to make the United States reconsider its position.
Earlier, The Times reported that Biden was unlikely to announce a decision on strikes deep into Russia following talks with Zelensky on September 26.
The Washington Post reported that officials from a number of European countries disagree with the White House's position, which refuses to allow strikes against Russia.
Russian President Vladimir Putin warned on September 12 that lifting restrictions on strikes against Russia would mean direct participation of NATO countries in the war in Ukraine.
