President Joe Biden has reportedly granted Ukraine permission, in secret, to carry out strikes inside Russia, specifically in the Kharkiv area, using American weapons, as per a report by Politico on Thursday.
The action marks a reversal for President Biden, who had previously resisted allowing Ukraine to utilize American weaponry for operations within Russia.
However, as stated by the official, Ukraine is not permitted to employ these weapons against civilian infrastructure. Furthermore, they are prohibited from launching long-range missiles, such as the Army Tactical Missile System, at military targets located deep within Russia.
Ukraine has been given approval to use American-provided weaponry, such as rockets and rocket launchers. These arms can be deployed to intercept Russian missiles targeting Kharkiv, troops assembling near the Russian border adjacent to the city, or Russian bombers releasing bombs toward Ukrainian territory.
