Blinken Signals U.S. May Allow Ukraine to Strike Inside Russia With American Weapons
Secretary of state stopped short of endorsing change, but comments follow statements from European officials urging restrictions be lifted
CHISINAU, Moldova—U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken signaled on Wednesday that the U.S. is weighing the idea of allowing Kyiv to strike Russian territory with American-provided weapons in light of the evolving battlefield situation in Ukraine.
It was the first time that a top Biden administration official has publicly indicated that the U.S. is considering the policy shift. Previously, the U.S. has said it wouldn’t allow Ukraine to attack targets on Russian territory with ATACMS missiles or other U.S. weapons.
