The United States does not allow Ukraine to use ATACMS operational-tactical missiles for strikes on Russian territory, but this rule may change. This was stated by Pentagon deputy press secretary Sabrina Singh.
“Right now we are not authorising the use of ATACMS for deep strikes <…> within Russia,” Sabrina Singh said at a briefing.
She noted that U.S. authorities have changed the rules for the use of missiles transferred to Ukraine near Kharkiv and Russia’s border region of Belgorod.
“We do allow these cross-border strikes when Russia attacks from the other side of the border. As the nature of the war changes, we adapt our policy. You saw this in Kharkiv, and it can spread to other areas,” concluded the Deputy spokesman of the Pentagon.
We shall remind you that earlier the Politico news and analysis website quoted the head of Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s office, Andriy Yermak, as saying that during the NATO summit in Washington, Ukraine was trying to get the restrictions on US weapons strikes on Russian territory lifted.
