Ukraine said on Monday it would urge allies to give its troops more freedom to strike military targets inside Russia after the United States partially lifted restrictions on the use of some Western-supplied weapons.
Washington last week gave Ukraine limited permission to use Western-supplied weapons to strike some military targets on Russian territory as part of Kyiv’s efforts to fend off attacks on its eastern Kharkiv region.
“It is not 100-percent, you know, clearance. It comes with some rules that need to be followed,” Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said at a press conference with his Estonian counterpart.
“We will continue to work with our allies on expanding the scope of its application,” he added.
The issue has been deeply divisive among Ukraine’s supporters, with some reluctant to permit Ukraine to strike over the border, fearing this could drag them closer to direct conflict with Moscow.
